Three deer,the sky, trees, and me wait for the sun... Who has a better sunrise perch, me or you, oh sweet black bird?

Whetted, Translucent

Glorious, Happy Xmas to one and all!






Sky clean crisp blue. Orange gold clouds are moving left to right... Clouds moving so fast across my horizon. My heart (and camera shutter) thumping happy.






"The secret of seeing
is to sail on solar wind.
Hone and spread your spirit,
till you yourself are a sail,
whetted, translucent,
broadside to the merest puff."
~ Annie Dillard





My God, that bright nearly full moon in the trees against the midnight blue sky is gorgeous: Gorgeous moon.... Golden glow along the ridge with fluffy clouds scattered. My prayers this morning are focused on peace... and love...

Words of Encouragement

Gentle snowflakes and another magical sunrise. Some sort of optical wonder...




Ice on back deck... Numb fingers and face. But who cares?

into the flame of achievement.
Legend tells us that Lincoln’s dying mother
called her small son to her bedside and whispered,
‘Be somebody, Abe’."
