I fell in love with books. Some people find beauty in music, some in painting, some in landscape, but I find it in words. By beauty, I mean the feeling you have suddenly glimpsed another world, or looked into a portal that reveals a kind of magic. ~Donald Miller, To Own a Dragon #FridayEscapeDay

I seek solace in the crimson sunrise that splashes the east with beauty; that paints the canvas of my heart. I brush my thoughts with the elegant breeze that translates my ideas to art. Colors of nature, at ease, entice…laden with hues of heaven. ~Saravana Kumar Murugan, Shades of Life #JoyAbounds

Glanced out of my daughter’s window and noticed how the table umbrella, in the background, was so similar to the gnomes hat. I know….I am way too easily amused. #WindowsOnWednesday

It has been quite enjoyable keeping an eye on my neighbor’s cat, Bob, while she was away this past week. Although, the cat really kept an eye on me most of the time……and what beautiful eyes they are!!

The little Indian Creek behind my apartment. It does get pretty high after a good rain, though. Blessed to mostly see its calmer side and not to ever worry about flooding as it goes on its merry way. #ForestFriday

This photo, taken by my daughter, may be a rather dark and moody one. She was standing on the balcony looking downriver. The Hudson River revealed many of her moods to us during the years we were blessed to view her. #riverlandscape

We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we were done Lyndon B. Johnson ~Photo unknown #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTime
