Winter!

Ahh winter it starts out so light.

Then a couple more inches,

And it covered all the mud and dirt up,

 making a blanket of white,

And it looks so peaceful!

Then the ice comes and makes

such a beautiful photo to be taken!

Have I even mentioned how much ?

"I LOVE WINTER!"

A river runs through it!

This is the thought I had when I saw

this running through a small town near where I live.

Not very big and not very wide but,

it does run through this small town

And during the fall season ,

you can take a nice photo of it!

Moth enjoying his lunch.

This moth was enjoying the dandelions.

 I really thought he was just a dead moth until I saw his wings move.

He flew from this dandelions to the next and so on.

He was indeed a healthy moth just enjoying the day and eating.

Dam

Ever wonder what floats over the dam?

How about a log?

Wreaths

Don't they look like part of a face on these doors?

Could life get any better?

Beautiful sunny day, sun reflecting off the water!

Your boat gliding over the water with a gentle breeze to push you along.

Ahh the peace and the quite as you drift onlong on your journey.

I came home to this beautiful sunset.

Notice the colors and I did not adjust those at all.

Then see the X in the Sky, like GOD said

"X marks the spot for heaven."

I just had to share!

Ever take pictures of just odd little things you see?

I took this photo of this small tiny flower,

while I was at association island on vacation.

Or how about a close up of a piece of swamp grass?

Even a milk weed pod makes a pretty picture!

Or change the view and look up!

Clouds can make a nice photo.

Clouds can change from plain to whispy to destinctive in

just a matter of a few minutes.

 Making them a good subject to photography!

Then there are the tress and all of their oddities!

What is this growth upon this tree?

I have no idea but it looks like a rough version of a pine cone,

 but it is the bark.

Can you see the face in this bark?

And to think it actually grew like this!

This one is a little harder to see,

 but there is a face in this one as well.

Photos can be of interesting things around us ,

not just of people and places.

Don't you just love fireworks?

All the different displays that are put out there just amaze me!

You have the spikes, kind of looking like a wheat field.

You have the ones that look like a urchin or a sideways jelly fish.

You have the ones that look like spiders.

You have the stardust with twinkles.

There are the spiney kind or star bursts.

You have your carnations.

And then you have the big ending.

I always love the way they end.

All the colors and all the smoke and sounds

Makes the whole thing worth watching!

I do so Love the Fireworks!

I took the most relaxing trip this past weekend.

I crossed the stone bridge to the Island and it was wonderful!

The clouds would make you think a storm was coming in,

then the clouds would disappear and the sun would come out again.

There were some amazing sunsets!

No two sunsets are ever exactly the same on the island.

And some sunsets set the sky a blaze!

Or it can light up a sail boat in a beautiful way!

And this weekend was military appreciation weekend,

there was a rock climbing wall and scuba diving lessons, and paddle boat rides

there was wine tasting and food .

My husband and I

Volunteered to help out.

Even people from the main land came to the island

to enjoy the festivities.

I even got to meet and shake the hand of State Sen. Darrel J. Aubertine ,

before he had to rush off to give a speech on the island.

He was very friendly!

It was a busy day that day for my husband and I, but it was fun too.

And the people took back pleasant memories of their day on the island .

Withall the help the volunteers gave to them while they were on the island.

While we relaxed after the festivities and enjoyed yet another beautiful sunset,

and later that night

Our friends built an amazing campfire and we sat and talked

all about the days events.

Don't you just love a camp fire?

One that has a nice flame rising from it , on a cool night.

A good camp fire you can gaze into the flames and a

animal looks like it is there.

"This one looks like a crocodile in the flames."

You can gaze into the fire and day dream about what ever you want,

as the golden glow takes your mind to many places.

Or you can roast a few marshmellows as long as they,

Don't fall off your stick and into the fire.

What a way to warm up on a cool night

 then to sit in a Chair and feel the heat coming from the fire.

I just love a camp fire on a cool quite night!

Have you ever wondered,

how so many people can afford to own a boat?

Not only do they have the money to buy the boat,

But they have to pay for a slip at the marina for their boat.

And though I love boats and being out on the water!

Think about the expenses, the cost of the boat,the insurance on the boat,

The cost of the boat slip at the marina, the gas to go out boating.

The trailer and the vehicle to transport the boat to the marina,

and the insurance on those.

All of this just for a few hours of boating...hmmm..thinking,

No it is not worth all that expense to me.

I can get a boat ride from a boat rental place and pay far less, thank you!

Coming back from my daughters house tonight I was worrying about my husband.

See he had this procedure done and found out he has a 55% blockage in the artery of his heart.

I was sliently praying to GOD that he will be ok.

When something told me to look over to the right and there in all it's glory was

this amazing sky. And I felt a peace come over me like everything will be alright.

It was as though GOD had touched the sky to let me know that things will be ok.

You could not have made a more perfect sky,

the sun rays were twice as brilliant as this picture depicks.

GOD really is GREAT!

And his glory shows in the sky above.

GOD sent down his peace and love!

Thank you GOD for the peace and the contenment in my time of need!
