Feast of Grandeur (Azamat) - May 16th, 2010

Dictionary.com's definition of Grandeur is the quality or state of being impressive/awesome or lofty or elevated in concept. 

I am finding that with the names of the 19 Baha'i months that each name means something different to each individual. And it is no different this month. 

At first I struggled to come up with a picture that I thought might suit the name of Grandeur.  You should know that I am not a very subtle person.  Tell me a dry joke and wait till the next day for me to laugh.  That's just how I am, what you see is what you get, and my pictures are very similar to that.  So I tend to shoot what I think, and in this case I was going for very obvious stuff, i.e. clouds and sky and trees and general wondrous-nous. I was rebelling against that though but could not really come up with something else...until I realized I had the exact image I was looking for.

Nothing has touched me more than my daughter's courage or quick recuperation from her eye surgery (see my last post). Her fortitude has been an inspiration for me. For reals.  She was up and running the same day of her surgery and we were told that it might be a day or two before she opens her eyes.  Let me tell you. She is awesome, impressive, elevated in her resilience to heal and move forward from her tests. This is the sign of a strong and wonderful person in my eyes and she takes the cake when it comes to the word grandeur. 

Here's my picture:
















That's my girl...no clouds or sky or trees. This is Grandeur in my eyes.
