summer mood

a bit subdued

heavy heart

from fires that start

loss of life

and loss of home

exhausted bodies

people bemoan

and question why

God bring comfort

and please

 rain down on them..

These were taken indoors, behind our glass window. They were originally dark, so I had to edit them a bit.  I was thrilled to see someone taking advantage of the birdbath..

Weekly Photo Challenge: faces in the crowd

The Daily Post challenge for the week, is a face in the crowd. What I like about this, is that no one is looking directly at me, which sometimes happens.

Summertime has brought highly important happenings in my life

This little visitor came to keep me company one afternoon

Not very talkative

But that was fine with me.. I was not in a talkative mood either..

Weekly Photo Challenge: Morning

There is no better way, than to start my day off,  with time to be still and listen to the world around me, as it wakes up. The chatter of birds, the buzz of the bees, the dance of the flowers and the swaying of trees.. Hmm.. that last sentence was not planned. Lol! Anyway back to the Morning challenge at the Daily Post. This morning felt more like a fall day. Oh goodie! Actually we have had a mild summer. These photos were taken on August 2nd. This little visitor hung around for a while to pose rest. On a side note, our internet service has been touch and go lately,  therefore it is curtailing my activity here at WordPress greatly. Bummer!

 

Happy!
