Frosted

I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again." 

 ~ Lewis Carroll

Simply Blue

Blue Jay poses outside on my deck (taken thru the sliding glass door)

...life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered.

~ Nicholas Sparks

Between The Trees

 Sun sinks low
Trees reborn with light
Moon watches

Hope In The Darkness

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light 

Cause oh that gave me such a fright 

But I will hold on with all of my might 

Just promise me that we'll be alright

From Mumford and Sons latest Album - Babel

This verse is an excerpt from the song - Ghosts That We Knew

A Feast of Berries

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Time Comes To Us Softly

American Goldfinch strikes a pose.
These little beauties capture my heart :)

Time comes to us softly, slowly. It sits beside us for a while. Then, long before we are ready, it moves on.

 ~ Jacqueline Woodson
