The Serenity of the Nature

John James Audubon

John James Audobon was born in what is now Haiti in 1785 on his father' s sugar plantation.  He was raised in France and the family immegrated in 1805.  From his earliest days he an affinity for birds.  His major worof color plates was titled The Birds of America .  

 John James Audobon State Park is located in Henderson, Kentucky.  It's just south of the Ohio River.  It is inspired by John James Audobon, who resided there from 1810-1819.  It has a wonderful museum with some of Audobon's wonderful works. 

 It is said that this state park will be in the path of totality of the 2024 total solar eclipse.  It is a quiet place of reflection.  A place of beauty and serentiy.  I'm grateful that I live so close to the park.

Oh, the Beautiful Alpaca

Beautiful old and wise tree, she is!

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods

The Alpaca at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods are treasures to be seen.  Their wool supplements their income and the alpaca allows one to visualize and witness calm.  Yes, calm.  Watching them brings about such serenity for me.  

Knitting with the wool spun from their wool is quite a pleasant experience, too.  Skeins purchased from the Linden Leaf Gift shop at The Woods is identified by the alpaca from which the wool came.  So you might have a scarf made from "Joey" around your neck.

Thanks be to God!!

Sunlight and Serenity

Quiet and serene

A single beam of sunlight

Gives rise to comfort

Quiet and serene

Basking in its warmth and glow

Gives rise to comfort
