Sit Still And Watch Them

Frosty maple leaves on an autumn morning.

Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn.

Have You Ever Noticed...

.

....the different shades of Blue on the Blue Jay's Feathers?

Many people are alive but don't touch the miracle of being alive.

Autumn Views

A little bit of color starting to come out.....

Blue Jay surrounded by autumn leaves 

(those leaves look like hearts to me.... can you see it?)  

The days may not be so bright and balmy—yet the quiet and melancholy that linger around them is fraught with glory. Over everything connected with autumn there lingers some golden spell—some unseen influence that penetrates the soul with its mysterious power.

Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.

Beetle Close-up

I'm passionately involved in life: I love its change, its color, its movement. To be alive, to be able to see, to walk, to have houses, music, paintings - it's all a miracle. 
~ Arthur Rubinstein

Poetry On His Wings

The world is full of Poetry—the air 
Is living with its spirit; and the waves 
Dance to the music of its melodies, 
And sparkle in its brightness. 
Earth is veiled, 
And mantled with its beauty; and the walls, 
That close the universe, with crystal, in, 
Are eloquent with voices, that proclaim 
The unseen glories of immensity... 
~ James G. Percival

As the sunset as His guide

Color Your World

Grackles have some AMAZING colors in their feathers. I had never been able to capture their iridescence until now.
Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up. 
~Allen Klein

So Much Color

This is from one of my "outings" with the macro lens. I really LOVE that lens! The Macro has shown me how lovely some not-so-lovely creatures can be. I now have a new respect for flies! Who knew they could be so colorful? I sure didn't!

Color Is Joy

Color is joy. One does not think joy. One is carried by it.
