Outdoor Wednesday ~ Father & Daughter

My Outdoor photos this week were all taken on an early morning walk at Emma Wood State Beach when our daughter Katie was spending a week with us. Katie is a lot like her father. She and he tend to think the same way. It’s always fun to see them interact with each other. Doesn’t [...]

Metamorphosis/Blue Monday ~ Master Bedding

This week I’m combining Metamorphosis Monday with Blue Monday. Our bedding in our Master Bedroom was getting very tired looking and we found a pattern that both Dear and I could live with. Since the new bedding is mostly blue and green it made perfect sense to combine our two Monday events. I appreciate Susan [...]

Come,Thou Fount of Every Blessing ~ Hymn

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love. Sorrowing I shall [...]

The Herons

The Herons of Elmwood Warm and still is the summer night,   As here by the river’s brink I wander; White overhead are the stars, and white   The glimmering lamps on the hillside yonder.  Silent are all the sounds of day;   Nothing I hear but the chirp of crickets, And the cry of the herons winging their way   O’er the poet’s house in the Elmwood thickets.  Call to him, herons, as slowly you pass   To your roosts in the haunts of the exiled thrushes, Sing him the song of the green morass;   And the tides that water the reeds and rushes.  Sing him the mystical Song of the Hern,   And the secret that baffles our utmost seeking; For only a sound of lament we discern,   And cannot interpret the words you are speaking.  Sing of the air, and the wild delight   Of wings that uplift and winds that uphold you, The joy of freedom, the rapture of flight   Through the drift of the floating mists that infold you.  Of the landscape lying so far below,   With its towns and rivers and desert places; And the splendor of light above, and the glow   Of the limitless, blue, ethereal spaces.  Ask him if songs of the Troubadours,   Or of Minnesingers in old black-letter, Sound in his ears more sweet than yours,   And if yours are not sweeter and wilder and better.  Sing to him, say to him, here at his gate,   Where the boughs of the stately elms are meeting, Some one hath lingered to meditate,   And send him unseen this friendly greeting;  That many another hath done the same,   Though not by a sound was the silence broken; The surest pledge of a deathless name   Is the silent homage of thoughts unspoken.  ~Longfellow These were taken with my new camera. I still have a lot to learn [...]
