    yellow seems to be the big color for spring - every store, catalog - everything - yellow.

    Ali: I think you had a "yellow" post last year at about this very same time, no?
    A different flower, I think, though.
    And what's weird is that I was just totally thinking about it b/c all the catalogs and stores have burst into yellow.
    Spring must be whispering in our ears.

    Thank you my friend for the reminder. It couldn't have come at a better time. I've posted this in my 'Thankful' journal for the day and put it in my van for a reminder when I want to spend money I shouldn't. Have a beautiful evening.

    It is so interesting to me to see how many other women/moms out there were feeling the same way today!! I was having one of those days myself today, and those beautiful yellow roses & the quote made me realize - that it is what it is....be content with it. We don't control the cards we are dealt!

    Gorgeous quote, and gorgeous photo. Thank you for sharing.
    On another note (but one I imagine you would appreciate if you haven't heard of it already), and in the hopes of this not getting totally lost in your giveaway-comments, I saw this little entry on a blog I read and thought I'd share (titled: Save the Trees on your next giveaway):

    THANKS, Ali! Your beautiful roses made my day. Like some other girls, I was feeling sad today and this was just what the doctor ordered.

    Thanks for offering the giveaway!!!
    I have taken photos for years with my trusty 35mm but find digital photography so intimidating. I guess partly because it is so in my control. I realize for many that is the attraction, being able to manipulate your photos to bring out unseen qualities. For me who is not very computer savvy & somewhat afraid of making mistakes the digital world of photography & scrapbooking although I find the pieces beautiful is very intimidating & frightening.
    How do I overcome this? What are some good basic tips for digital photography? Digital Scrapbooking?
    Thanks

    Such a beautiful quote and the photo is absolutely stunning :)
    My biggest photo struggle is actually keeping my hands from shaking and getting the blurry photo's I keep getting so much... I would love to know how people have such a steady hand with their stunning photo's like yours above:)
    Also trying to get the image you have in your sights to look just the same in the photo... somehow the images change and just don't seem to look right IYKWIM, but maybe that's just me :P
    Just received all 3 of your books and plan on sitting and reading them tonight:)

    Hi Ali,
    I am still a novice with photograpy and I struggle to keep in focus and to get close to my subject. You are helping me a bunch.
    PS I just finished my, "Week In A Life" album from CKU Orlando. We moved and it stopped my album making. I just love this album thanks for the inspiration.

    Thanks Ali for your time and letting us into
    your creative world.
    My photo struggles are trying to really capture my 3 & 8 year old boys in the moment. They are always either running, turning there heads, or making faces.

    Ali,
    I think my biggest struggle with photography is knowing when to snap the picture. I like to see pictures that are real, not staged. But I have a hard time capturing what I want. Is there a trick to it or am I just a novice? I want to see my babies eyes against the sky, but I am not able to capture the exact moment, maybe it just takes time and practice.
    Thanks for the beautiful quote.
