Happy Independence Day!
This is my favorite holiday, Today is a day when we think about the past, consider the present, and have hope for the future. Times are tough in America right now but there’s still no other country that I would rather live in. We’ve been through tough times in the past and we’ll have tough times in the future but we will always came out stronger.
From the Shattered to Lens to you, have a safe and healthy 4th of July!

Living near a creek, we occasionally do get visitors. These fine ducks decided to take a break in our front yard on their way back home. They were enjoying the warm weather.
Previous Moments:
A few years ago, I was walking around the neighborhood when I realized that someone was watching me.
After saying goodbye to my new friend, I kept walking. A few blocks later, I realized that I was being followed.
As soon as I turned around and looked at him, he ran away.
It’s been years but I still think about the two of them whenever I go for a walk around the neighborhood, the proud cat and the curious dog. I’m glad that they both had a home and happy lives. I’m glad the cat enjoyed staring me down and I hope the dog enjoyed following behind me. Human don’t deserve animals but I’m glad they put up with us.

It Must Be Valentine’s Day by Erin Nicole
Whether you’re single or if you’re in a committed relationship or even if you don’t care about any of that stuff, the Shattered Lens wishes you a happy Valentine’s Day! Or, if you’d prefer, a happy February 14th!
(As for myself, I’m more than happy with a simple “Have a blessed Ash Wednesday.”)
Have a wonderful day, no matter what you celebrate!

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, or enjoy your Monday! No matter what this day means or signifies to you, we hope that it full of good tidings and cheer!
I took this picture at the Dallas Arboretum a few years ago. Every year, I enjoy going to the Arboretum and seeing what they’ve done for the holidays. Looking up at the tree with the star sitting atop of it always puts me in the Christmas spirit!
Have a wonderful day and thank you to everyone who has visited this site over the last 13 years!
