Today Is A New Day

Today is a new day! 
Many will seize this day. 
Many will live it to the fullest. 
Why not you?

I Just Can't Resist



Once my heart was captured,
 reason was shown the door, 
deliberately and with a sort of frantic joy.
 I accepted everything, I believed everything, 
without struggle, without suffering, without regret, without false shame. 
How can one blush for what one adores? 
~ George Sand 


I just can't resist trying to capture "flight" shots.  Whether it be 
Nature has captured my heart!

Beauty and Grace


The answer must be, I think, that beauty and grace are performed whether or not we will or sense them. The least we can do is try to be there.

Morning Light On A Wildflower



The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there. 
 ~Monica Baldwin

A little bit of "morning magic" found  during a walk.

Baltimore Oriole


 The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.
~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

It Has Given Itself Into the Keeping Of All


(iPhone pic - edited with Snapseed -  Gateway Trail - Blacksburg, Virginia)

I had assumed that the Earth, the spirit of the Earth, noticed exceptions -- those who wantonly damage it and those who do not. But the Earth is wise. It has given itself into the keeping of all, and all are therefore accountable.
— Alice Walker
