Green Eyes

Happy Mother's Day

When I knew the time was limited, I wanted to photograph every single line on her face.  So many things I never wanted to forget, especially those pale green translucent eyes of hers.  

Some of the best things I learned in life came from what I saw through my mom's eyes. 

"I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me.  They have clung to me all my life."

 -Abraham Lincoln

Eyes of gratitude.

My mother's love for me was so great I have worked hard to justify it." 

-Marc Chagall

Eyes with a story to tell.

My mother said to me, 'if you become a soldier, you'll be a general; if you become a monk, you'll end up as the pope.'  Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso. 

-Pablo Picasso

Eyes quick to crack a joke.

My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it. 

-Mark Twain

Eyes of a genius.

"My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw.  All I am I owe to my mother.  I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her."

-George Washington

Eyes of conviction. 

"To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in it's perfect power" 

-Maya Angelou

Eyes that sparkle, and the most beautiful ones the heavens ever created.

“When you look into your mother’s eyes, you know that is the purest love you can find on this earth.”

-Mitch Albom
