Sometimes I just need to see some beautiful things…..

After all:

“The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

So, don’t go to bed hungry!

Peace.

Setting Sun….

So, the sun is setting - literally and figuratively - on our time by the sea. picture-146

I’m such an ocean girl, picture-149 so I’m a little sad about this, but at the same time, I’m ready to get back home to my normal (and I do use that term very loosely :-) ) routine.

I took a few pics - not as many as I would have liked, though - fun things always seemed to happen when I didn’t have my camera handy…

But, here are just a few:

Staking our territory...in the rain!

Oh yeah, and then there was this one (thanks to Byron’s quick hand with the camera!!)

Peace to you all…

And Another Thing…

So, I have a passionate obsession with the sky!  Especially at dusk when it turns all “lavender/vanilla”:

A little while ago I wrote this post about my Bohemian roots….

And as I was continuing my Czechoslovakia research, I came across this pic of Prague with it’s beautiful sky:

….looks familiar to me somehow - no wonder I love living here in “The Park” and watching the Florida sky change.  Some things are just in your blood…..even if you don’t know it!

Peace to you!

The Sun Also Rises…

…even on a Monday…

I think this photo looks like an impressionist painting….it makes me happy!  I have a love affair with the sky….and I always have.  I used to stare at the clouds, as a child, and pretend I was up there - in their “fluffiness”……….I still have my head in the clouds, most days.

I’ve set aside today to look for my little shopping cart girl. I’ve been dreaming about her a lot lately…and this post reminded me that sometimes dreams can inspire us to work harder - that I can’t ever forget those who can’t help themselves.

I have this dream that, maybe someday, my little shopping cart girl will be able to stare at the clouds too, and dream her little girl dreams…. 

…and maybe I can help her make one or two come true.

That would really be a dream to me.

Peace.
