  •   Some people naturally know how to take life in stride.     She makes this look easy! Tails wagging and baby smiling!               St. Augustine Beach, any summer day.

  •     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…

  •       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?   You pick!       Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania, Water Garden with tropical water lilies. Reprinted from Laine's Blog,…

  •     No wonder ancient people honored the sun, the reliable, predictable sun.   Our bright star might travel along the horizon in a northerly or southerly direction, depending on the season, but it only truly goes away at night, and returns, bringing with it the morning, and the first bird song.   The birds…

  •     Snowing at night and sticking to everything, the branches of the trees, the trunks, the street lights. One of the most beautiful nights of my life, keeping me cool tonight!       The Valentine's snow storm, Baltimore, 2014. What you can't see are the marvelous hardwood trees in the background, all covered…

  •     Wild things,   singing to my heart on my short walk over the short dunes to the beach.         St. Augustine Beach.

  •     If you ever get the chance to visit Bryce Canyon in Utah, do it! Magnificent views from top to bottom dance with the sun all day long. And hiking among the Hoodoos is a strange and wonderful experience, as is the switchback that gets you back to the top!   Thanks to Patti…

  •     Thunder boomers every day. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening, sometimes at night.   Lots of rain, St. Augustine is very green, and the internet/cable providers are busy with blown out systems.   Beautiful at the beach after work and a swim in time to beat the rain!     Life…
