Whisper....

Let us be silent that we may hear the whispers of the Gods.
Ralph Waldo Emerson



Our lesson this week in Beyond Layers is a word.
And that word is Whisper..  That's it..  That's all Kim gave us.
When I think of the word Whisper the first thought that came
to mind was Listening to my inter voice and trusting it..

Your life speaks to you in a Whisper.
Are you listening.. 



Linking to Texture Tuesday.  I used Kim's texture "Happy Heart"


Monday was the most Beautiful Day.





The sun was out and not even a hint of a breeze in the air.





It was so nice to be outdoors taking shots of these busy bees.



What a difference a day makes.
Yesterday was Soooo Windy.  I'm talking crazy wind.
I do hope it calms down a bit today!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Linda

I could feel the sunshine in your photos! Beautiful!

Lisa Graham said...

Wow Linda, these shots are magical and make me feel like I am floating with the bee. How wonderful.

We had high winds too...gust up to 55 mph, but I hear you wind was even more than that.

I hope your day is beautiful like your incredible photographs.

Would you mind if I pin a couple of them on my Pinterest? I would link them back to you of course.

Oh my gosh girl! These photos are amazing!!! We have a friend from upstate who comes down and puts his baby bees on our property to get new hives started so we have LOTS of these little fellows around, but I certainly don't get to see them like this. I ADORE your zoom in pics. :-) Thanks for sharing these! Hugs!

I love how you caught that bee in mid flight.

Sylvia said...

Beautiful photo's Linda, I love the first one especially, but all of them are wonderful, and clear! Yesterday was horribly windy here as well and today more of the same it seems. Last week I had my first sighting of bees. I went out and was immediately surrounded by a bee who thought I was one of his flowers. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Terry said...

Love that bee photo! You really capture some amazing moments! So you get a lot of wind also??? I don't mind a breeze, but those are seldom the case. Have a lovely Wednesday!

Stunning photographs Linda. I love them. Our spring is not yet full of blossom but hoping it is just around the corner.
I struggle to hear my inner voice...I do try.

Wonderfully soft photos. Have a happy week-end.

Becca said...

So pretty...don't know how I missed this post before.
So glad the wind has finally stopped blowing! Now you can get out and take more lovely photos like this!

Laura Delegal - Leroy Photography said...

Perfectly stunning! Awesome capture.

Katy Noelle said...

What a beautiful post and what beautiful images! Partly, I think that, even with the windy day you had before, it's so wonderful to see spring. We have early spring here, in Vermont, but that really, at this point means, mud glorious mud. I can see the grass greening up but I think that anyone from a warmer climate would think that I'm nuts seeing that mucky meadow as green....but it's there and it's beautiful and so are your beautiful blossoms. A sneak peak at what's to come. Lovely!=]
