{#WordlessWednesday} A simple tree in the park or a sign from the heavens? #Photo

This is what I saw while sitting on a park bench and looking up:

No Matter how I changed my (cell phone) settings, with or without flash I replicated these results over and over again. Coincidence? I think NOT!

While it may not be a butterfly, I was getting a sign that sometimes you just need to look around you to know that the Universe is listening.

#ThrowbackThursday - My Great-Grandmother! {#Photo} #TBT

This is my maternal Great-Grandmother. She is part of the reason I started Ascending Butterfly. When she moved here she greatly missed home and she planted a small flower box garden on her windowsill. She had the most amazing green thumb and her flowers would attract butterflies. My love of butterflies started with her. And to this day a butterfly crossing my path is usually one of three things, someone I love saying hello from beyond, a stroke of good luck or a major change (which makes sense as butterflies are the symbols of transformation).

I love Throwback Thursday almost as much as I love Wordless Wednesday! I love checking out everyone's photos, so if you are playing along today for Throwback Thursday I'd love to see your pictures too, leave a comment below with your link and I'll hop over and say Hi! (Please remember we do moderate comments, no giveaway links for Wordless Wednesday or Throwback Thursday Please!)

Happy Throwback Thursday Butterflies, hope you enjoyed my visit down memoryville lane!

Wordless Wednesday - Remembering Elizabeth Taylor!

Today Hollywood lost one of it's stars. Rest in Peace Ms. Elizabeth Taylor. I love this photo, there is something way more expressive and memorable about Black and White Photography!

Actress. Activist. Business Woman. Mother. Wife. Friend. Passionate......

No matter how you remember her, one thing is certain, you will never forget her!

Feel free to share your favorite Elizabeth Taylor movie!
