More Beauty from Marianne

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Sonnet 18 is one of my favorites! Shakespeare captured beauty and made it eternal through his writing.

Today we are blessed to have digital photography. Not only can we preserve the beautiful things in life, but we can share them with the world in a matter of moments.
Thanks to Marianne's eye for beauty, her creativity and her patience we have some beautiful photos. What an amazing thing to have:

A flower that will never fade

A glimpse of Cammi at age four. I love the way her hair glistens in the evening light, the expression on her face and the fact that her cute outfit was a favorite of Marianne's when she was little!

Thank you Marianne for showing me the beauty all around!
