Dear Daddy,
This afternoon I found myself digging through my linen closet in search of an old bed sheet that I might destroy. I have planted myself a little garden bed with six tomato plants in it, and they have reached that stage of needing to be tied up to stakes. In fact, I [...]

Small corners

“Our lives are small, our dreams are great. We live with faith and hope in the small corners of our days.” – Kent Nerburn in Small Graces
I love this image because when I look at it I can imagine myself standing at this window and daydreaming, bathing in the warmth of the [...]

Angelrays. . . .
The name that has come to be who I am on the internet. I saw angelrays in the sky at sunset just last night and I couldn’t resist stopping just to get an uninterrupted view. Of course, this is what I call them. I’m not sure anyone else would [...]

Went out on a walk this morning at about 8 a.m. and was overwhelmed by the sights and smells — the plants so green, the sky so blue, the air scented heavily with honeysuckle and laurel — oh my, it was a feast for the senses and compelled my heart to praise.
I thought of the [...]

It has been a while since I last posted here because for so long I could not seem to get past a stubborn sign in system that just didn’t want to cooperate with my computer’s setup. Then, about two months ago my computer crashed and I lost tons of information and photos, as well as [...]
Standing out in the crowd

When I returned from a walk this morning I noticed a bright red leaf lying on our driveway. It stood out so beautifully amidst the mass of shriveled brown leaves that have been there for a few days. I thought it must have fallen recently since I hadn’t noticed it on [...]

(Click on images to see larger version) Without light we don’t have photography, and the image of the magnolia leaves wouldn’t exist if my camera had not functioned so that the shutter opened and allowed the light to pass through the lens which focused it on the sensor which recorded the information — [...]
None of us is promised tomorrow. Today, in all its beauty, is all we have.

I’m not sure who the author of that quote is, but I was moved to deep thought by it today. We’ve probably all, at one time or another, heard something like it. The Proverb says, “do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” A stern warning not [...]
Sunrise and shadows on the sand
Posted in Uncategorized on June 20, 2006 | 3 Comments »
I awoke early the morning I shot this photograph in eager anticipation of the sunrise, believing that there would be a few gems to be discovered in my camera after I finished shooting. When I walked out onto the beach the wind was chillly and blowing stoutly, carrying sand and seafoam with [...]
Wonderful Power
Posted in Uncategorized on April 11, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
There is wonderful power in the Cross of Christ. It has power to wake the dullest conscience and melt the hardest heart, to cleanse the unclean, to reconcile him who is afar off and restore him to fellowship with God, to redeem the prisoner from his bondage and lift the pauper from the [...]
