Footprints In the Sand

Footprints in the sand

How I wish to walk with them

Many and varied

And because I can walk on the beach, listening to and watching the surf I reflected on the many ways my life is good.

Life is good because God created it,

Humanity is good because God formed it,

I am good because God loves me.

Thank be to God!!

Early Morning In the Vatican

The fountain

It's been three years since we visited Rome for the second time and I'm reminded of the awesome feeling I had when I first visited there.  It was like coming home.  My cousin, Pat, went in 1976 and regaled me of its glory!  Now I go to my photos and revel in them too.  

We arrived early in the morning in anticipation of our Papal Audience.  It was quiet and cool.  And the fountain was most calming.  I needed to savor the moment!

I still marvel at the beauty of the Michelangelo's Pieta, and the statue of St. Peter that has been touched by so many that it is smooth and polished.  And of course, there are those handsome Swiss guards.   Wanting to go back, but in the meantime will cherish the memories!

Words About the Harvest

Silos at Sunrise

Securing the nations grain

Hope for the future

Living in Indiana I've been spoiled over the years to see the Fall come and the harvest begin.  Seeing the vast fields of corn, wheat and soy beans, melons and other fruit fills my heart with joy and hope.  I think everyone should understand the hard work that goes into farming and that we as a nation should never take it for granted!

Thanks be to God!

Clouds

Clouds are so very lovely.  But being in the mountains and seeing how they cover the very tops of them it makes me happy to be in their presence,  The color contrast is, oh, so wonderful.  I wish sometimes that I were an artist with the skill to capture these clouds on canvas.

Thanks be to God!!!

Oh! The Rainbow!

Niagara Falls

Rainbows offer hope

The color is beyond compare

In all their glory

~~~~~~~

A few years ago we made an autumn trip to upstate New York and Niagara Falls.  It was just incredible!  The color was exquisite and the Falls were incredible.  I'd return in a heartbeat.  It's just not on the schedule this year!
