MEDITATION

 

 

 

 

MEDITATION

Help me seek peace within

so there may be peace on Earth

and conduct myself in good faith

 to create goodwill towards men.

I have always been fascinated with this still frame from

"The Sound of Music".  As they say, "A picture is

worth a thousands words." Let's take the above poem

and strive for world peace! As Michael Jackson says,

"Look at the Man in the Mirror"

Have a great day!

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTOS

 

 

 

I was viewing photos on the National Geographic Website today and found these photos.  There are tons of photos plus photo tips given by a number of their photographers.  I found Catherine Karnow and Jim Richards tips interesting.  Above are two photos I found.  I made them black and white which I think adds an appeal to certain photos.  Catherine Karnow had an article concerning while taking pictures of people how to put them at ease to create the most natural faces. 

SNOW COVERED TREE

 

SNOW   COVERED   TREE

  A poem by mmichelle97219 (01/20/2009)

 

Oh, snow covered tree on a winter morn

You’re a gorgeous reminder of a wicked storm

 

 You stand so tall with proud beauty

A sight for all to stop and see

 

 You gently dance with winter’s wind

You never break, but slightly bend

 

 You give me a smile of pure delight

As your ice crystals sparkle in the light

 

 Oh, snow coved tree on crisp winter morn

A reminder that winter is not to be mourned

 

 

I have always found snow covered trees to be so beautiful, especially when there is a group of them as in the above picture.  The density of the snow is thick, so much that you can almost breathe in the snow.  As a boy growing up, we had huge tall bushes out by the back door which created a canopy during a wet soft snow.  They were gorgeous as was Jack Frost on our kitchen windows.  I found the picture and poem online. Have a nice winter weekend!!



HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY 2013

My wife is just a clever one

Who always says "I love you"

And she is quite a creative person

when she is at the computer, that's certain.

For above is  her Valentine card, you see,

straight from her heart to me.

 

I Love you Cat !!

because you know where its at !! xoxo

 

Hope all of my blog friends find someone to kiss today!!

Tax Day was Today

Tax Day was today at our household.  We dread it every year

but this year was great.  We actually receive a state tax

refund and had to pay only minimal to the federal government.

Don't you just love it?  What a relief !!
