I would rather be ashes than dust; I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot; I would rather be in a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow than in a sleepy and permanent planet; the proper function of man is to live, not to exist; I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them; I shall USE my time.
~Jack London

Thank you for this months desktop background, Káren. What a beautiful choice for May!
And congratulations Bo, on yet another amazing photo!
My computer now has a whole new lease on life!
Happy Mother’s Day, Káren & Bo. xxx
Hi Karen .. beautiful picture .. does Bo taken them? By the sound of it .. she does.
Love the crab apple flower – I picked a piece of really fluffy white cherry blossom to brush Mum’s face with .. so soft, so pretty, so fluffy! .. loved it. Love crab apple jelly too.
I must get to the wallpaper .. just not now – too many other things going on .. but it’ll click in at some stage later in the summer .. thanks Hilary
@ Joanne – thank you. Bo sent me two delicious photos to chose from (it was such a hard choice!) but this one represented that delicious femininity that so brings the joys of motherhood to mind, and I thought that was so apt as we celebrate Mothers this Sunday.
Happy Mother’s Day to you, too, Joanne!
@ Hilary – Yes, Bo took this stunning photo! Isn’t it amazing? It MAKES me take a deep breath, every time I see it! I’ve never seen a crab apple – not sure whether we get them in Australia.
I’m misting up over the image of you brushing your Mum’s face with beautiful blossoms… how tender and meaningful. Wishing you many, many blossoms as you enjoy your springtime.
