13 Reasons Why I’m Thankful

97 Comments

Gratitude means thankfulness, noticing simple pleasures and acknowledging everything that you draw. It means that you are content with what you have and appreciate and value the quality of your life, without any complaints. Being thankful shifts your focus from what is lacking in your life to the abundance that is already present. It means learning to live your life as if everything were a miracle, and being aware on a continuous basis of how much you’ve been given. In short, it means that you say “Thank You” often and always!

Sunday Stills : Drunk With

51 Comments

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day, another exciting prompt and a “perfect” WPC substitution!

This week’s theme is “DRUNK WITH” and surprisingly (in all honesty) I had a bucked-load of pictures to choose from in this genre! *hides face*
Ignoring all the photos that I wasn’t really proud of (for obvious reasons), I present to y’all my “drunk with” session with Mr. Jack at the famous Jack Daniel’s Distillery! An experience to cherish and treasure – This place is a must-visit for anyone with an appreciation for the World’s No 1 American Whiskey and all things Southern.

Sampling In Session – After touring the distillery, you’ll head to the tasting room in historic Barrelhouse 1-14 and taste whiskey drawn from individual barrels, an honor that was once reserved exclusively for the distillers and tasters!

Crime Scene – Three Line Tales

49 Comments

This was a crime scene straight out of an Alfred Hitchcock's movie - broken doors, 
bloodied canvas, scattered objects d'art, burglarized safe 
and a blood-soaked bare corpse.

"Was your wife an artist?" asked the stern copper, looking around, 
investigating the multi-hued blood splatter in the in-house art room, 
confirming - "forced entry with intent to rob and rape."

With tears in his eyes, despair all over his face 
and little Susie and Chuck by his side, 
Ben replied, "Yes, the best one in the country!"

Stop Letting Others Define You

27 Comments

People judge! They will always try to define you and put you in a box basis their own assessment and perception of you (doesn’t matter what authenticity the perception holds!) You may be defined basis your race, gender, weight, the way you dress, your social status, your sexuality, your friends (Heck! Even on basis of what you eat!) It is hard to live your best lives, when “best” is defined by someone else! Constant nay-sayers, consistent cynics, ceaseless criticism – they have many names and wear a many masks!

Sunday Stills : Macro Shots

82 Comments

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day, another exciting prompt and a “perfect” WPC substitution!

This week’s theme is “MACRO SHOTS” and in all honesty I must confess that I consider myself a novice when it comes to “photographic” skills – where I am still learning the art of getting the “right shot” especially when it comes to “macros!” Nevertheless, here are a few of the macro-shots experiments done at the Memphis Zoo with my winged friends as subjects.
