Morning sun breaks through

At the creator's command

 Proclaims his glory

Frozen Diamonds

 Crystals like diamonds

Clouds

Clouds are a wonder

Tender blanket of our earth

Heaven come to earth

~~~~~~~

It's good to reflect on the glory of the sky and the clouds that often surround us.  More often than not they cover the sun and keep us without the warmth the sun offers.  But they are sculpted by the angels to keep us from becoming complacent and taking them for granted.

Christmas, It's Almost Here

 

~~~~~~~

It's such a pleasure to walk about downtown Newburgh.   The windows are lovely, the city hall is all decorated and all the old buildings look new.  Christmas does that for me.  So many things look new.

~~~~~~~

And then there are the fun yard "guests" that brighten the day. . .even the Grinch is a friend.  Snoopy and Woodstock are such characters.  Santa is always there to offer just the right amount of cheer!!

I do love the lovely old and regal houses.  They offer warmth and festivity to all who pass by.  There is the Giving Wall.  One of the residents has offered gloves, hats, and food to any one who is in need and it is such a heart warming gesture that others in the neighborhood  have contributed to the Wall.  I think that's what's meant by "good will to all [people]."  And with that I wish all a very Merry Christmas!!!

The Rose

"The optimist sees the rose 

and not its thorns;

The pessimist stares at the thorns,

ovlivioius to the rose."

Kahlil Gibran

Raindrops that nourish

Beauty in its perfection

Beauty of the rose 

Today is one of those days when the chill outdoors causes one to reflect on the beauty of Spring.  The rose is one of my favorite flowers.  Though Spring is some time off.  I thank God for cameras and the photos they take.  Just another gift for which I am grateful!
