Round Robin Photo Challenge - "Labor"

LABOR: hard work.  (someone ELSE, not me, hahaha!!)

I found this very adorable man pulling taffy and feeding it into the machine to be cut and wrapped.  You should have seen the big white blob this salt water taffy was before he started pounding it into shape.  He didn't want me to take his photo, kept hiding under his BoSox hat brim.

Dreaming

 

Who were you before you put yourself last?

It's not hard work

    that wears you out

But the repression of your

              true personality.

You Finally do have to Give Something

      Terribly Intimate and Secret of yourself

to the world and Not Care because You Have to

          Believe that what you have to Say

                   is Important Enough.

sandcastle girl

I don't know this little girl.  She was playing

all day near where my son and my niece were

playing, by the water's edge.

She just had this look...I took her picture

because I think she looked like how I felt.

Life

"True happiness is not to be found

outside life...it does not brood above as the sky

              broods over the earth.

   It is in life.  

       It is life itself...full life with all its heroic

                struggles and sublime joys."

starting to get really addicted

to this camera.  took this photo

Nothing is so personal as happiness...each soul is fitted for a joy entirely individual...often a whole life is required to discover it.
