Until my parents come to visit!!! ~ Irish Rain ~ The Journal

Deep in the south….
In the shadows of the live oaks and Spanish moss…
Where the humid air and heat of summer days seem like they will last throughout the year…
During sunshine and warm breezes… rainstorms and hurricanes… ice and snow…

There is a perpetual playground

Where everyday
Children catch fish….
Planes are flown….
Ropes are skipped….
Friends are made…..
Children dance and smile….




Deep in the South
In the shadows of hospital wards and ambulance bays
Where children are born and leukemia patients fight
During times of sadness and times of joy… shock and grief… hope and victory

There is a perpetual playground

Where metal and bronze make children and parents dream of the day when
Fish will be caught….
Planes will be flown….
Ropes will be skipped….
Friends will be made…
Children will dance and laugh… again.

It is going to take 11 days to clean your house?

How did you capture the sunlight streaming into the photo of the girl statue? I love it! I know just enough about cameras to know what the aperture and shutter speed features do :)

hey Brit! thanks for the comment! To be honest with you... there was no real trick or setting. I just shot the picture into the sun and the camera got the light.
