light

 

I love light . . . illuminating and reflecting, bringing out colors and details that the darkness hides.  Let the light shine brightly . . .

sunset III

 

This afternoon as I approached the crossroads leading to my house, feeling somewhat weary from the work week, this spectacular sight appeared right in front of me!  I pulled over into the parking lot of a realtor and grabbed my camera.  I just breathed out and took in the scene.  The weekend has begun . . .

daffodils

 

During my work travels this week, I have been noticing the peeking out of yellow buds here and there.  I was especially drawn to the ones growing in the flower beds of my friend JP . . . leaves so green and lush, flowers just beginning to bloom rich gold.   So on this sunshine day, I captured a few of the early daffodils . . . I can hardly wait until the whole group joins in . . .

stark

 

The word means desolate; bare . . . brutally simple.  When we observe such a state, it shakes us, shocks us even.  Sometimes our inner man feels the desolation, the nudity of our own soul in all its need . . . but is it a bad thing to be forced to recognize the brutal simplicity of living?  The uncomplicated, the unsophisticated, the easily understood . . . do we have difficulty finding satisfaction and contentment in these things?  Dare to be simple-minded . . .

sunset II

 

I have a friend who lives on the lake, and the other day she was so gracious to let me and a friend hang out at her place waiting for the day’s setting sun.  We were not disappointed . . . orange brilliance, rippling waves of gold, and a little duck friend to share the sight.  After chilling in the bracing winds around the water, she made some of the best hot chocolate to warm us up.  Thanks, friend!
