For smiling on and thinking about


Taken from Virginia Lee Photography. Have you seen a sweeter photograph?







 




This photograph also comes from Virginia Lee Photography in Southwest Virginia. This really speaks to me, and I hope  that it speaks to you as well. let's support our young families, and let's also support the creative people in our communities. If you're in the region, please connect with Virginia Lee Photography and see if you can't get some creative work done with them. 

 

My copy of this marvelous photograph by Rick Burgess of the stars and sky at Dolly Sods Wilderness in Tucker County, West Virginia doesn't do the original photograph or the place and moment justice. Please find Rick Burgess on Facebook and take a look. This is an image of peace and reassurance for me. May it be the same for you.





I'm trying to break down the idea that adults can't have softness in our lives. This photograph came from a Facebook friend and has some sadness attached to it, but my point is that maybe you didn't get a soft touch as a kid and maybe you want it now, or maybe it's just a time in your life when you need that. Go ahead. Do it.
