you give your kids solid ground and roots to grow….

The hardest part, and one that’s just as important
… is the giving of wings.

Gorgeous images! And so true (yet hard to do!)
It's always difficult to let the chick out of the nest. I'm sure you're doing a stellar job! Keep up the good work! 🙂
So true and gorgeous shots.
So pretty. Great captures and advice. 🙂
I LOVE this post, may I use it if I give you credit?

We can only hope that our children have their eyes and ears open and take in the words and lessons we have to offer them. 🙂
This is what I struggle with. Lovely post Karen.
So true, you have to let them venture farther and farther to grow strong. Beautiful pictures Karen!
beautiful – and i can only imagine…
Boy, how true. Beautiful images.
Beautiful images to illustrate an important point!

i loved giving my kids wings…..but only one of them has figured out the right thing to do with them. the other one should have been kept on a leash a bit longer……
So lovely!
And true. My boy is flying now:)
Incredibly hard! And I'm learning, that it becomes more difficult they older they get.
Karen, are you my sister once removed? I so agree. I cannot stand to hear parents say "Oh, I hope they always live here." How selfish. Selfish! Selfish! Selfish! My daughter (and her wife and the baby) live in Maryland. My son lives in Raleigh, NC. We have wonderful visits. Like I knew we always would. And they have their lives. xo, Cheryl
Gave mine wings and they flew away! Love the photos, as always.
those butterflies remind me of me, so gentle and sweet,lol.
True saying and are you good with that camera, or what? LOVE those pix! xo Diana
Did you get that MACRO lens!!??? Butterflies are beautiful!
Wings are hard!!! Necessary, but hard. I posted almost the same butterfly!
Very true, Karen, but be prepared if they need to fly back home occasionally.
Great photo's!!
