Texture Tuesday

Kim is hosting Texture Tuesday with a challenge to use the texture Warm Sun from her collection.  I read the other day on a photo blog (CANNOT remember where, nor can I find it...) about a challenge using sun flare.  Well, I thought about it and as I took these photos, I was able to capture a sun flare so thought I'd challenge myself with both a flare and a texture.

A friend brought these tulips by last night as it was 11 years ago that my first husband, Jim, died.  This is the friend who took my four kids while we were at the hospital. Thank you, Stacie, for remembering with me.

There are a lot of fabulous pictures to peruse over at Kim's!

Especially, important to note...the fact that I could catch a sun flare means that the sun is shining here today!! and it's not windy!!

    Oh Jill, The story behind this beautiful photo...it took my breath away. From tears to tender smiles at your sweet memories...It's hard to even imagine going through such a devastating loss. But it does lend great insight into the depth of character that is so evident in your life. What a precious, and thoughtful friend you have in Stacie. Xo, Sue
