31 Days of Pink: Day 2

This is Day 2. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. (Psalm 27:14)

"We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... 

we must do that which we think we cannot."

31 Days of Pink: Day 1

It is 31 days of pink. And this is Day 1. For survivors and those that have lost loved ones. May we find a cure.

while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

Last Friday in September

Can you believe that September is almost over? Where did the year go? Was out and about the other day and noticed that my neighbor's orange trees are beginning to ripen. Oranges for October. Yeah! 

Light glorifies everything. It transforms and ennobles the most commonplace and ordinary subjects. The object is nothing, light is everything.  ~Leonard Missone

Stop & Enjoy

Sometimes you just have to stop and enjoy the beauty!

A Little Bit of Autumn in the Air

Signs of Autumn are in the air. A few leaves have begun to change and occasionally there is a breeze blowing slightly cooler air. Still waiting for that cold crisp morning. May be waiting a while. But I will enjoy the colors of the season as they slowly begin to turn. The light is warm and glowing.

"By all these lovely tokens 

September days are here, 

With summer's best of weather

And autumn's best of cheer."

~Helen Hunt Jackson

Spider Lily

Well...the cooler weather has disappeared once again. And humidity and heat have returned to south Texas. Yes, the sunshine is beautiful but the ragweed is kicking my behind. Sneezing and trying to take photographs, especially micro is difficult. But alas...I will survive. Come on October! But for now enjoy these beautiful spider lilies that have been popping up all around the neighborhood.

 

"There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, 

which through the summer is not heard or seen, 

as if it could not be, as if it had not been!" 

~Percy Bysshe Shelley

Ah...Lantana

Brilliant colors! So loving the cooler weather. Just wish I had some more time to get out and shoot more flowers. These colors having me ready for fall. But of course we won't see these colors on the trees until late November if we're lucky. Ah the joys of living in the South.

 

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
