Winter is here and will make it nice for Christmas..As I always say, I am not a fan of snow, but there is something beautiful about it..so I try and see the beauty instead of being a "Grinch"..

A Neat Picture.

Looking over some of my pictures..Thought this was a really neat looking one..

Since the sky is my favorite topic..I was please with this picture..

Fun With Mr. Moon..

The things I do to amuse myself..and the moon always helps me..from playing "hide'n seek" behind the pines to getting stuck on a tree.. Now you know, I have to be running all over the place to get these shots..and as I have said before..Thank heavens, the neighbors know me..

Till next time, keep looking up.

Mr. Moon

I caught a few pictures of the moon this morning..The last shot is a little off, but still nice.

No matter how many times I see a full moon, I am always in awe..

One of the many beautiful things in life..

Getting Ready For Christmas.

Well, we made it through the Thanksgiving storm..would you believe, it has been pretty nice since then..Course, I was down with a cold..but feeling good again and ready to go..Here are a few decorations we have up..I have to laugh..it is done for the grandchildren..but every morning..we light all the lights and enjoy our coffee here, sitting in the corner..second childhood, I guess..

Nothing like enjoying the simple things in life..it doesn't take much to keep us happy and so thankful we realize this.

Till next time, keep looking up.

Happy Thanksgiving to All..

So this is what we get for Thanksgiving..Now don't misunderstand me..it is beautiful and thankful for the beauty..but so worried about everyone traveling..Some of our daughters/grandchildren came yesterday, ahead of the storm..but now more are going to travel today and tomorrow..Will be happy when they arrive.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving..Sending Love and Blessings from our house to yours...

The things I do to amuse myself..Playing catch with the moon and tree..Now you have to give me "E" for effort..So happy God gave me a gift to enjoy the little things in life..A Camera, The Moon and A Large Tree....

Steve Jobs

I just had to write a little tribute about Steve Jobs..I read about his sister giving his eulogy..I tell you..It was so beautiful. His last words were, as he looked past them.."Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow."..

It actually bought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful way to leave this earth. I wonder what he saw?

I remember when we took care of my dad at home. He looked at me and said, "soon my father will be coming for me." Knowing my grandfather was gone from this earth many years, I was taken back. The following week he died. It was the first time I experienced this from someone close to death.

To me these experiences Steve Jobs and my dad shared are filled with joy..and as our loved ones leave this earth..and leave us in pain..we have to think.."Till we meet again"...

Morning Sun

As I took pictures of the morning sun, I happened to turn around and saw a beautiful reflection in the window..It made an interesting subject, I think..don't you?

Till next time, keep looking up.

Now here is a picture I took from a visitor in our bird house..usually, I run screaming if this little guy crosses my path..but he was so cute.

Husband put him in the garden and he just sat there, so I took a few pictures. Slowly he headed toward the woods.

Not sure who was more surprised when we cleaned out the bird house..it was a toss up..

Till next time, keep looking up.

Following The Moon.

I love the moon and had fun following it going behind the trees. It is such a beautiful thing to see in the morning, night too..I never tire taking pictures of it.

Amazing how much beauty we miss sometimes. I never really appreciated everything as much as I do, with my camera..As I was once told.."It is never too late, to start something good."

Till next time, keep looking up.

Killer Frost

Now this is really a frost..anything in a garden would be done for. The funny thing, it is what really brings beautiful color to leaves..This weekend will warm up in the 70ies and color will start with the trees. Will probably peak near the middle/end of Oct..If we have rain, it will ruin some of the beautiful colors.

It is amazing to see God's paintbrush. No matter what colors I use to paint with, they are never as beautiful as the ones God uses.

Till next time, keep looking up.

After The Rain.

These Hibiscus looked so beautiful with the rain drops on them..What a color..Will be taking them inside tonight and for good. We are getting a frost and the weather is really getting cold.

You have to admit..they are a happy flower and so thankful for their beauty.

Till next time, keep looking up.

Walking around the back yard and hoping to catch a Dragonfly..but instead..the house/barn/flower and puddle..Oh well, it is all nice ..but no Dragonfly in sight..As you can see, the sun is getting ready to set, but a beautiful day after the rain.

Till next time keep looking up.

Back on Etsy

A few things I put up on my Etsy shop..My daughter and I had a shop, but we let it close, due to her baby..

Now I thought I might as well open it back up and put some of my things in

there again..Etsy is fun and anyone that has things they make and like to sell, should check it out.

Mostly, I do Folk Art and the cards are made from my old fashion illustrations when I was a student, in The Art Students League in NYC..as I say about myself..Jack of all trades, master of none..but having a good time..haha..

Blue Dragonfly

Now here is a beautiful blue Dragonfly. I couldn't see his wings, but they are next to his body. A little different from other Dragonflies that I have been lucky to take a picture of.

Have to admit, the little Dragonfly, made my day..

Till next time, keep looking up.
