Continuing with the 365 Photos Challenge and am now on Day 5. Anyone can join in, you do not have to be nominated. Here are the rules from Artbytes on his 365 Photos Challenge.
I took the above butterfly and lantana photo on my deck in the spring.
I have many garden stones in Dustin and Daddy’s memorial garden in my backyard. This Believe stone was a special gift. I first placed it in the garden then decided to bring it indoors to protect it. I have many more to replace it.
We all need something to believe in to get through life. It doesn’t have to be religion. Whatever works for you and helps you through the rough spots. I can remember when I could not find anything or anybody to believe in, I started looking for hope. I have found that hope in many aspects of my life. I am thankful and have to be reminded at times that without hope we have nothing. I can attest to that on a personal level. I will leave you with another of my favorite quotes. And I wish you all a great weekend.
Never stop believing in hope because miracles happen every day. ~Unknown
Always good to believe, love the stone and butterfly
These are beautiful photos and great reminders thank you for sharing these with us…
Thank you for the kind words, always Michelle.
I cant say anything that already hasnt been said. Great photos, and your strength is inspiring to us all.
Thank you Kim for visiting and your kind words.
Thank you so much for inviting me! Can’t wait to join! 🙂 and also it’s amazing, powerful photo! 🙂
You are so welomce, thanks for accepting. Enjoy!
Sadly, this isn’t the case for ranked images posts. There isn’t really a cover image option like there is for quizzes and such…
Maybe they will change it one day.
One can only hope…
Amazing words of wisdom.
Thank you very much Lady! 🙂 Appreciate your compliment and visit.
Great images. The joys and pains through the journey are all part of the poetry of life. The experiences are like the crushing of the olive and the grape. They produce choice oil and a quality wine.
Your words are so powerful, thank you so much for sharing them Bradley.
You are an inspiration. Thank you.
When hopeless all seems lost, find your hope again and look to the future.
Absolutely right Della, thank you!
Beautiful post, very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much, glad you liked it.
I think having something to believe in is very important.
You are right Pamela, we all must find that something.
Yeahhh! Miracles happen every second! I am even more amazed at your strength. This is a great post! Impressive images with a spirit poured through very powerful writing! Thank you, Carol.
Thank you so much Albert. Amazing that I don’t feel strong even when I am told I am. I am a survivor. I realize that takes strength but for some reason, it’s like someone saying I’m a hero. I guess I don’t receive compliments well perhaps. Thanks as always.
You are a hero indeed! I’m sure you know that anxiety and emotions often make the mind cloudy, and like cloudy water we find it difficult to measure its depth, right?
Absolutely I know this all too well. My mind has been cloudy for way too long. But I am starting to see the light. Thank you!
Yipppieee… That’s Carol, the kind friend of mine!
Beautiful words and photos! Never lose hope, because what else is left then?
Thank you Ellie, it is so very true. I know from experience.
Did I read that correctly? Can you now design a dedicated cover image for posts?
Absolutely you can Alex. And I like the idea a lot better.
Just so you know, I designed the photo on my computer, the word Believe was drawn from my software Fotor. But it is my original photo.
Nice work! Now I can start posting cover images where they should be
And if you forget a cover photo, the site reminds you!
Thank you for sharing with us something very valuable to you personally. I’m sorry I can not take part in the challenge. From 01.12 I start working in a house where there is no internet. I’ll only go out for 24 hours a week.
And I thank you for visiting Elenka. Good to have you back!
No problem with joining, I understand.
So Beautiful Photos Carol Keep it up.
Thank you so much hamza. Have you joined the challenge?

I decided to make my own cover photo from an old favorite!
