a dried up paper lantern
~
who knew the beauty could be there
long after the color that made her blush
faded away
~~
who knew that an early december walk
before the snow arrived last night
would provide me with such a gift
~~
I guess I knew all along
~~
maybe
because I'm always looking
~~
it's amazing to me
what a camera in your hands
can do to your heart

Oh Beth so true I'm gladd you took a your camera along and take us with you too.
paper lanterns offer such visual display, but i don't think i've ever seen one so faded and crying out to be loved...and so you did.
Life is just so amazing when looking through a lens, isn't it?! It's a special kind of seeing.
...just beautiful... love this imagine.. never seen one so faded, or so beautiful...
You have the most beautiful heart. you just sing!

A camera definitely helps us see and open up the heart. Keep clicking.

This is beautiful!
Wanted to tell you how much I love your "new" banner (maybe it has been up for a while.. I've been away from my computer for about 2 weeks now .... life getting in my way!)
I also liked the post about where your blog name came from... I always wondered about the address "more doors"...
PS: I think our hubbies have the same birthdays (11/29??)
You are wonderful.
Finding beauty in the simple things; you're a pro at it.
Thanks for continuing to share them with us!
Beautiful words to go with the photo...
Having a camera in hand opens up the eyes, lifts the heart and mends the soul...
and some think its just a hunk of metal and plastic...
This is stunning!
It looks as though this little paper lantern is lit from within. Maybe it found it's inspiration to glow from observing you!
