6 Things I Can't Live Without

On the Outskirts of Town.

Some random pictures for you today. I've been in a creative mood lately!
Street Lights.

Little Paper Lantern.


Polka Dot Lamp.

Well, I wouldn't call these all things, but here's my list:

*Family and Friends
*Nature
*Coffee
*My camera
*Traveling
*All the little things

My computer. I'm secretly having an affair with it but hush, that is a secret!

What are the six things you could never do without? I'd love to hear. xx

  7. With the anniversary of 9/11 today, it's a great day to focus on those important things that we don't want to ever have to do without! Mine are much like yours! For me it starts with my four beautiful children, my wonderful friends -- and that includes my blogging friends, my four-legged friend, Sam Schnauzer, the beauty of nature that I'm surrounded by and blogging and photography, that has brought so much joy and delight into my life. I could go on for a while and in realizing that, I do realize what a full and wonderful life I do have!! Thanks for the reminder, Betty!! Hope your week is going well!!

  42. Delightful pics! It's fun seeing how others responded, too.

    Wow, only 6? Have you been talking to my 13-yr-old son? That's the kind of question he likes to ask, and I like to avoid.

    My list would pretty much mirror yours. But if I think hard and go deeper, I'd have to say that I would eventually have to deal with the loss of each of them, and I will survive those pains. But ultimately, I cannot do without God's grace. I must be prepared to let go of everything else. If the Lord permits, I would like to continue enjoying close relationships and cool gadgets for a long, long time.

    The rich colors and bokeh in the paper lantern photo are fantastic!!

  56. It was great that you took time to stop by my bird photo blog and leave a nice comment. Much appreciated.

    I enjoyed your eclectic images in this post!!! Very much.

    Six things I couldn't live without? That's difficult to say...you mentioned family, but since I've lost a lot of family members, I continue to live, so be it that they're MOST important, I must say life goes on even if I'm left behind.

    I think I'd be terribly lost without electricity, water, food, exercising/walking....

    I had to giggle with your 'affair'. LOL

  67. What gorgeous photos! You know, with us having so many hours of sunlight in summer, the biggest thing I'm looking forward to now is darkness and lights. Bright lights and candles and stars and Christmas trees.

    What six things couldn't I live without? I try not to be too materialy bound so I would say sunshine, blue skies, forests, tall trees, beaches and the sea. I get incredibly gleeful when I am out in nature!
