Laine is back from a little break in posting! Guess I needed it.

Simple Pleasures

 

 

 

This is the kind of day that makes you wish that you had a little boat

and could wander along the marshes,

spying on blue herons, and green herons and egrets,

maybe run into Ratty and Mole from The Wind In The Willows,

having tea in one of the coves,

taking time for simple pleasures,

as clouds drift by.

Water Lilies

 

 

As beautiful as the night.

 

"Which night?"

You might ask.

 

The night of shooting stars or lightening bugs,

or the first time you held the hand of someone you really loved.

 

One of those beautiful nights that you can't forget.

Rainbow...

 

 

 

The sun was setting and shining shyly on the waves after hiding all day,

and then this!

The Movement of the Stars...

 

 

Not even a month ago,

the crescent moon kept company with Venus and Jupiter for awhile.

The two planets are now in our blind spot and the moon,

well the moon has been all over the sky since then!

 

The movement of the stars and planets marks the march of time in our lives,

better perhaps than our fancy phones and digital calendars,

or even our wrinkles!

 

It's a daily, being in the moment kind of thing,

noticing the movements of the stars.

 

 

 

 

The crescent moon and Venus and even Jupiter is in the shot, in the evening sky of July 18th, this year!

Good Morning...

Sea Oats Going By

 

 

 

At the end of the day.

The end of a world.

The end of a life.

 

Doors close.

Chapters end.

 

And then it begins again.

 

The sea oats

going by

will be back in the spring.

 

The sun that sets

rises again.

 

The mystery is solved in 533 pages,

yet some things

will remain

forever

beyond our

 reach,

just the other side of certainty.

A Room For A 'shroom...

 

Is that a little flying saucer that landed in the hollow of my tree?

 

 

Or a package for a spy?

 

Naaaa...

 

 

It's a mushroom,

with a room of its own.

 

 

And a little friend and a few bugs...
