365 Project Day 327: Favorite Moment of the Day

Canon 5D Mark ll, 70-200 2.8L, 180mm focal length, 4.0 aperture, 1/100 shutter, 160 ISO

While walking my older horse down to the barn today, I glanced back to find Katie standing in perfect sunshine bringing a bag of carrots to our other two horses. As soon as I got him back into the pasture I hurried to get my camera. A daughter with carrots in hand in her bright green sweatshirt fresh from England, and two happy horses in golden light. I wanted to freeze that moment. My camera helps me to do that. Amazing, wonderful tool that it is. Before long, Cowboy and Chris joined the scene and I was grinning and giggling. These are the magic moments when everything slows and I find myself breathing all the way in and then out again. Our lives are strung endlessly, intricately with these pearls, these gems. How many do I miss because I am worrying about getting things done?

Too many. But not this one. This one is captured, cherished and framed to share with you here today. My pockets are jingling with the treasures I have stored up this year during this project.

Beautiful blessed moments to savor and share. Click. What was your favorite moment today? You don’t to have just one.

Acts 17:24,25 ~”The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. ²⁵ And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.”

 

Wishing you all happy moments to capture and keep today,
