Catch...

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....

Till next time, keep looking up.

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..

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..

Till next time, keep looking up.

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.

Rosh Hashanah,

Happy New Year to all my Jewish Friends..Wishing you all the blessings the New Year brings.

I put a picture of the Apples with honey..which is a symbol of, hope for a sweet New Year..a hope all of us could relate to..May we all learn to love each other and know we are ONE..

The End Of Summer.

We are starting fall time..These yellow flowers always bloom this time of year..Tall and beautiful.

I was very lucky to catch the Monarch Butterfly..

always exciting. Chased him all over the yard and finally got one..yes, only one, picture.

Ahh,God is good..

I Call This.."A Whales Tale"..

You have to admit, you never know what you will see in the clouds/sky..

It looks like a plane, then a whales tale..

Doesn't matter what it is..it is a good conversation shot..

Till next time, keep looking up.

Morning Sun.

The beautiful sun as it was rising..The weather is changing, little by little and you can see it in the sunrise. Cooler nights and foggy mornings, make for a beautiful sunrise. Fall is one of the most beautiful times in Maine..I try and never take any of this beauty for granted. Of course fall isn't officially here yet, but the process is starting. You can feel a nip in the air..As much as I miss spring/summer..I am always thankful for God's beauty in the fall.

This Blog is For Father Mychal Judge

This is Father Mychal in his firefighter gear, heading to

the North Tower.

Father Judge died in 9/11 given last rites to a fallen firefighter, in the Trade Center..As he rushed into the North Tower with the firefighters, Mayor Giuliani called out, "Father Mike, pray for us!"..Fr. Mychal responded, "I always do , I always pray for you!"..These were the last public words to be said from Father Mike.

He died from blunt force trauma to the head, as he finished giving the last rites to the fallen firefighter.

He was designated victim 0001..because he was the first body to be recovered from the scene..

Please pray for all of us on earth Father Mike..for we really need God's Blessing.

God Bless America.

On 9/11/2001 America was hit by terrorist..It was something so devastating we will never forget..

As you look at the pictures, the one with the evil faces..I saw on t.v. as I watched the buildings burn..At first, I thought I was seeing things, only to realize I didn't..it was captured by CNN and Mark D. Phillips..but as my photos move on you see the Cross..out of evil good will overcome.

The one thing I will say for my God, He is a God of Love and would never condone this to happen under His name..Yes, it happened and He didn't stop it..but we are given free will and He will never interfere with that..BUT always remember.."They that are evil will stand before God and be judged"...All the innocent victims, from the three disasters are taken into God's loving grace..it is all of us that are left behind, many in pain, that must help to change this evil..

God Bless America..
