31 August

When you are in your element

In this case a cool stream

On a Very Hot Day

No matter where or when I catch you

There is a smile

On

Or peeking out of

Your face...

30 August

You love the underneaths

The cozy spots

BEyond

BEtween

BEneath

Wherever I could BE...

And DO I love

That look in your eyes

29 August

It always inspires

Laughter

Living with YOU.

28 August

You never hesitate

To marinate

Your BEautiful face

Even

In

Mud

27 August

Somedays...

Sometimes...

I wait for your voice

And I hear it

In my heart.

26 August

How I love your capacity to BE Present

Taking Life in

In great gulps

Never holding back

Never worried

Always 

Bodacious

Ready

Willing

25 August

Through every stage

And age

And place

You have brought

Such love

Such JOY...

Thank You

24 August

Oh to BE

Thoughty

Curious

and

Focused

23 August

I love this look in your eyes

In your whole face, really

Even your body tells the story

When you have an idea

An extraordinary & brilliant idea

It just glows and radiates off of you

22 August

Thoughty

Pensive

Sweet

Gracie Deep in the Muddy 24 July 2008 Sedona

It's true

Pictures tell the story

And this one's a doozie!!

I will never

EVER

Forget your utter rapture

Swimming in the Deep Muddy...

20 August

Sometimes, yes

I DO wonder what you're thinking

What is happening

In BEtween those two luscious ears

And BEhind those deep brown eyes.

19 August

You are

Have always been

So uncommonly

Tender

18 August

Your smile is perhaps the best smile

In the ENTIRE World.

I am so lucky to live with it.

[and YOU, of course!!]

17 August

Your way of exploring

Experiencing

Whatever is NEW to YOU

It is a remarkable thing

I have learned so much

From your example.

16 August

Such determination

Single-minded focus

And JOY

DO you bring

In WHATEVER you DO

15 August

You often seem

Bigger than Life

Like you DO

In this photo

Gracie as herself

Gracie casting shadows

Gracie reflecting back

Truly, Amazing Grace

14 August

Sometimes

[Although they are Very Rare]

Your bark

Surprises me

With its clarity

Intent

and

YOUR "words"

13 August

Even Now

As Always

You've Had

That Look

Of Curiosity

12 August

Words fail me

[for once]

That smile...

Those BEautimous brown eyes...

Ohhhhhhh!

11 August

Unexpected Friendships

Are NOT only rare

They are some of the best ever

[even if they are too brief]

10 August

If I could

I would

Trade places with you

For just one minute

Of BEing

THIS in love with Life

9 August

The ways you show Joy

With your whole BEing

It's just amazing...

8 August

It is fun to play

To take one of my all-time

Favourite photos of YOU

And see What Happens WHEN?!

And how WHAT IF?!

Turns out...

Sort of like spending time with little YOU

Again.

7 August

It's funny

The voice I use

As YOUR voice...

How surprised I'd BE

[I imagine]

If you actually spoke

In your own!

6 August

Nothing

So much as water

BE it a puddle

A river

A lake

Or

An ocean

Thrills your feet

5 August

Your imagination

The way you play

It's so NOT normal

Yet it's truly FUN!!!

4 August

Just one look from you

One single time you looked right at me

And I knew

Things that never fit into words

Yet make total and complete sense to me.

3 August

It always feels special

BEing allowed a front row seat

To your explorations

And

To your discoveries.

2 August

Sometimes

When you are

REALLY

Happy

You seem to

Lift-off

& 

Fly

1 August

You love having your picture taken.

You smile at the camera.

You stay still.

You're

ONE

Funny Bunny!!!
