Beauty is everywhere

This is one of my favorite pictures from back home. Hereford, Texas is a really small town and to be honest... I never really fit in. Even though I was ready to leave the day I could walk... I still found beauty in it.

Clearly my love and appreciation of art was not nurtured in Hereford, but I don't think that it was hurt either. Sure bigger towns would have given me the opportunity to explore my creative side in school much sooner... but you know you get what you can.

There is beauty everywhere all you have to do it look for it.

Age

In dedication to my sister's birthday...

Age.
A number.
A measure.
A standard.
Age does not define you but it can confine you.
Age cannot tell ones personality but it can sure wear it down.
Age is more than a number...
It's a ticker
for laughs
for love
for the happiness one can express in a lifetime.
How fast it ticks is entirely up to you.
