Heading Home


White skies

falling everywhere,

blanketing all

in perfect motion.



Beauty covers all

and waits

patiently

for

the laughter of

children at play.



As they bid adieu

and return home

to warm themselves,

memories linger

waiting

to become

fireside stories

for another generation

St. Helens Roar

The Day Mt. St. Helens Roared

Majestic
Fire
Beauty
Power

Rumble, rumble.

Roar of warning
Danger
Kaboom!!!!!

Destruction
Miles of gray filled skies
Dust souviners everywhere

Calm
Wonder
Hope for future?

God will provide.

An experiment

Well, it worked but it is hard to read my poems on a tiny background that doesn't enlarge or to see them on the shaded background since they are written in black. I guess I will try something else. Click on "scrapblog" if you want to start your own album there.

CLICK on the photos below to see them better. . .

Snow . . .

Water . . .

Both I love.

Both in one -

A gift!




Beauty


Is the sunset, that stirs up the clouds, more beautiful

than

the river beneath?

Not to me . . .

They compliment each other when together

But their individual beauty reveals itself

When the other is absent.

Simple beauty. . .

"Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old. "
Franz Kafka
The colors of autumn warm my soul. If I didn't have a digital camera, I doubt I would have taken this photo. I am glad I did! It is even more colorful if you CLICK on it to enlarge.

This week a smile was my blessing. I found them everywhere! Pumpkin smiles,(enlarge the photo to see all the smiles) people smiles and the smile I felt in my heart as I worked on a quilt for a neighbor who is in the hospital because her kidneys are shutting down. I hope it will bring her a smile too!

When I get it finished late tonight, I will add a photo of the quilt at the bottom here. I plan to take it to her in the hospital tomorrow after church. Well, this photos is a little later in coming than I planned but it is finally here. I draped it over a chair and turned a corner so you could see the mauve backing. It fits a single bed. On my way to deliver it today.

"November" flower . . .Osteospermum

Walking back from the Kiggins House re-model today, I discovered these flowers still blooming. They are natural art at its finest! If someone knows the name for them, please let me know. You definitely want to click on this one to see how pretty it is!

Thanks to the person who left a comment with no name, I have the name of this gorgeous flower.

Experimenting . . .

Don't understand why Blogger makes my photos so small when the originals look so much bigger. . . so just trying something. . .
