Happy New Year 2018!

Hello and Happy New Year!
 
I'm coming back this year.  As I sit in my office admiring my beautiful view,  I turn to gratitude and hopefulness for 2018.  I know you see the screen behind the window, and it's cold, gray and brown outside, but I know - and you know - that soon there will be green, there will be flowers, there will be warm days, sunny skies, colorful birds flying around and singing, beautiful flowers and more. And I will have some beautiful photos to show you.  I am going to get back on track in 2018.  I can't claim that it will be every day; in fact, I may even change the name of the blog, I just don't know yet, but I'll figure it out soon and let you know. 

I hope you had a wonderful 2017 and are expecting a great 2018!  I am expecting 2018 to be my best year ever!!  See you soon.

Moon over Saturday 04-16-16

Hello and happy Saturday.  So, I was enjoying walking the dogs this evening while it was still light and loving the beautiful sky.  I looked up through the trees while the pups were ambling along and saw this - a present!  I really enjoy seeing the moon in the daytime.  It's so much easier to photograph this way.  If I didn't have to walk my dogs, I would've missed this jewel.  

I hope you've enjoyed Saturday and had a special "jewel" added to your day.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Thursday Boating 04-14-16

Hello and happy Thursday.  It's a beautiful day.  Let's go boating/sailing.  They're trying to hide the boat with the weeds, but I see it and I want to go!  It's just too pretty to stay inside or work when we could be boating.

I hope you had an enjoyable Thursday.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Hello and happy Saturday.  Check out the Muscovy Duck I found in the water near my yard.  Isn't he a handsome thing?  Haha.  Well, I guess his looks aren't quite what most would call "beautiful", but remember, in the words of a Ray Stevens song, "Everything is beautiful, in its own way.....".

I hope you had a beautiful Saturday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Tuesday's Delicacy 11-17-15

Hello and happy Tuesday.  I have a crop from one of my recent camellia flowers for you today.  It was a long day at work for me today and was made even longer by a last minute phone call adding even more work before I finished my day.  Soooo, when I arrived home , all I wanted to do was look at something really beautiful to soothe my weary mind and body.  I went to my photos, and now I feel better thanks to the photo you see.  I love the delicateness of the petals and then the burst of color.  

My spirit has now been rejuvinated.  I hope that you have been a little soothed and rejuvenated as well.

I hope you had a terrific Tuesday.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Pearson's Falls Teaser Tuesday 10-20-15

Hello and happy Tuesday.  As promised, today is a teaser of the 90 foot waterfall you can experience when you visit Pearson's Falls and Glen in Saluda, NC.  This is a part of the lower end of the Falls exposed for about 1/2 second to get that look of the water.  Tomorrow you will see the beautiful waterfall you've been teased about for the past few days.  

I hope you had a wonderful Tuesday.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Saturday's Flower

Okay, I hope you're having a great Saturday.  I found this flower, near water, in Florida.  I've searched some on the internet and haven't been able to find out the kind or name of the flower.  Does anyone know?  I have to stop searching now because it's beautiful here and I must get out and enjoy this day.  Please clue me in if you know what it is.

Have a great day.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.
