"Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun."
- Kahlil Gibran
May is one of my favorite months of the year. May finds teachers and students drawing another school year to a close. Many graduate from high school and college this month and this itself adds an exciting newness to life. It is a month of seeing something new in the spring light of day whether it is a spring bird, flower or greening of the grass. May invites you to spend more time outdoors whether it is in your garden or perched in your favorite deck chair. May just seems to clear out the cobwebs of winter.

This image captures this essence of May. Sara was three with her Tenderheart Care Bear in normal position as she was drawn to the tropical flowers of Coronado. Curiosity drew her with out any words spoken. Fortunately I had a camera in hand. This is definitely one of my favorite images of her and it has been framed in a place of prominence. I relish her enthusiasm and curiosity with these flowers and the precious softness of her character with her beloved bear. My gratitude for this precious memory and memories yet to be made fill me with joy.
