Nature's Jewels
Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leave you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing, and listen as heaven whispers, "Do you like it? I did it just for you.
Sunday
Reflecting
Only when the clamor of the outside world is silenced will you be able to hear the deeper vibration. Listen carefully.

Simple Pleasures
Life is one long struggle to disinter oneself, to keep one's head above the accumulations, the ever deepening layers of objects ... which attempt to cover one over, steadily, almost irresistibly, like falling snow.

Autumn Gold
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
~ George Eliot
Truly a "piece" of Autumn Gold!

Fascinated with Flight
We are each of us in this world an angel with only one wing. In order to fly we must embrace each other.
~ Unknown
I am fascinated with butterflies and birds in flight. Actually all flying creatures fascinate me. They seem so graceful and carefree.

Change
- Johann von Goethe
Leaves from the bush in my backyard. I am not sure what type of bush this is but it has lovely green leaves during the summer and then they turn RED.
Monday
Bee on a Wildflower
Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow is only a vision. But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day, for it is life, the very life of life.

Time to Reflect
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Low in the Water
The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but the thankful heart... will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings.

Happiness Is To Be Found Along the Way
Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it is too late. Today, this hour, this minute is the day, the hour, the minute for each of us to sense the fact that life is good, with all of its trials and troubles, and perhaps more interesting because of them.
Benches are one of my favorite subjects. To some, an empty bench looks lonely - but to me - an empty bench looks inviting - just the spot for a short rest along my journey, and the perfect place to stop and breathe deeply of nature.

Still on the Journey
To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
As they fall...some don't quite make it all they way to the ground - but get caught on a branch. Over the years I have taken many shots of leaves like this, their journey to the forest floor not quite complete.

Up Close to a Tiger
To be seeing the world made new every morning,
as if it were the morning of the first day,
and then to make the most of it
for the individual soul as if each were the last day,
is the daily curriculum of the mind's desire.

A Face to the Sun
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you
~ Maori Proverb
~ Maori Proverb
“‘“The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you

the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”’

Masked Bandit Elegance - Cedar Waxwing
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.
~ Audrey Hepburn
I think of Cedar Waxwings as the masked bandits of the bird world. They also have a type of simple elegance to them ~ reminding me of Audrey Hepburn, who is one of my favorite actresses. She is also has wonderful quotes!
Thursday
In Over His Head ~ Almost
I thought this Ibis looked like it was in "over his head" but it was most likely the perfect place for him to find some food. Sometimes in life, we can feel like we are in WAY over our heads, but eventually find out that it was really the perfect place for us to be at just the right time.
We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
~ E.E. Cummings

Oh What Freedom
"How does one become a butterfly?" she asked pensively. "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar."

Time Flies By
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old time is still a-flying. And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying.- Henry David Thoreau
Monday
Scatter Seeds of Kindness
Scatter seeds of kindness everywhere you go; Scatter bits of courtesy-watch them grow and grow. Gather buds of friendship, keep them till full-blown; You will find more happiness than you have ever known.

Cedar Waxwings Are Amazing
I thank You God for this most amazing day; for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes.
~ e. e. cummings

Hope
Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all.
- Emily Dickinson
Friday
Thru the Window
This was taken through the dining room window. I am blessed to have such a nice tree in the backyard ~ that the birdies LOVE!
Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.- Erich Fromm

Glistening with Dew
When your inner eyes open, you can find immense beauty hidden within the inconsequential details of daily life. When your inner ears open, you can hear the subtle, lovely music of the universe everywhere you go.

Taking it Slow
Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each passing moment; and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey.- Harold B. Melchart
