Barefoot in the Orchard
One of my favorite memories was walking barefoot in our apricot orchard. That was years ago, and it's still one of the first things that comes to mind when searching my life's memories.
It is unbearable for me to think about my beautiful orchard and the many others that surrounded it now only exist in my memory -- long ago replaced by houses. I prefer to keep those images in my mind as if it were only yesterday...
It's a beautiful summer morning, I'm 12 years old, outside my cat Peewee (a big yellow tabby with a bobbed tail) greets me. I head straight out into the orchard. The branches overhead hang low and heavy -- and the sweet smell of apricots fill the air. Running faster and farther with each step -- the seemingly never-ending rows of trees stretch out before me. I can feel the warm sun on my face and the cool feel of the dirt under my feet. ~

It is meant to be! A very happy day indeed. This is the a time in our nation's history that we can feel so much hope among so much turmoil with the economy and in the world. Obama has garnered the support - minds and hearts - he needs to help enact changes for the better ... for us all.
Sabina,
Your images are wonderful. It is a proud day for our country and the world. I have never been more inspired.
I am thrilled to know that you were on-board with Obama from the very beginning. It's an honor to know you through the blogsphere.
Enjoy this day. YES WE DID!
We did We did We did!!!!
I am overflowing with joy! Those shots are amazing, they make my skin crawl. Wish I was actually in America today to witness and feel this moment.
awesome night!! change is on the way-YES WE CAN!
Thanks so much everyone for all of the enthusiastic emails (my Inbox runneth over)and blog comments!!
This is an amazing moment in history!!
hi... congratulations!!! you did it!!! a good job!!!!
i am french and i visit your blog very often: you're one of my favorites unknown-friends of that year 2008... wish you all the best!!!
Sabina, your photos are fantastic. Yes you did it. I cant but be moved. The world witnessed a very special event and Mr. Obama is world class, inspirational for those of us who work in the area of social justice and human rights. I feel such hope for the world. I know the road ahead wont be easy but with such an amazing leader and such dedicated supporters success will be achieved. Well done. Hugs Margie
I am so happy to have bloggers visiting from around the globe excited to see that we have a new president!!
France, Italy, Ireland !!! How wonderful!!
Sabina, thanks to you, I've visited the Obama Blog just now and posted this post:

I donated today money to help with your campaign efforts - it is a day after the historic election. But I feel compelled to give. Because I've been inspired by the way Obama has inspired others to do more. Thank you - and congratulations!

And thank you, again, Sabina. You inspire me, too!
That is wonderful Cindy!!!
Oh, pooh - I just heard on the news today that the Obama campaign now has EXTRA money that they have to give back to people OR give to a charity (which I hope they do that latter) or keep for future campaigns (I think that was the third option I heard them say). Well, I'm going to keep thinking it's a good thing, no matter what. Pay it forward!
Rosa Parks sat in 1955. Martin Luther King walked in 1963. Barack Obama ran in 2008.
Dreams are still alive and hope has returned to renew our strength.
Overjoyed as well. I might get myself one of those flags at last.
I love your election night photos Sabina! It gives me chills all over again! Was that the most amazing victory speech you've ever heard or WHAT! It still brings tears to my eyes.
YES WE CAN!!!
