Green in Glory Light


As we waited for dusk to settle before fireworks on July 4th, the sun cast a golden glory light over the trees and river.  This rich green color is exactly what we saw.

Most folks call beams of light streaming from the clouds, glory light.   When I was a child, Mumsie added to that definition when she called this wonderful golden light, glory light.

We would run out to where the light landed on the trees and dance.  In our eyes, we were covered with gold and were blessed with beauty when we did this.  It was magical.

Ah, childhood.

Have a beautiful day!  I hope you see some glory light.

Reflective Angles


Last Spring I was walking across the bridge and saw this wonderful reflection.  There are so many fascinating angles in this world--this is just one of them--a reflective angle which makes a triangle, or two.

It is so fun to spot such angles.  This world can be a beautiful, intriguing place.

Have a lovely day.

On Eagle's Wings -Guest Heart Thursday



 Our last day together was such great fun.  We walked down to the big park and threw rocks into the river.  My darling little niece is getting pretty good at skipping rocks--I'm getting a bit better with practice, too.  To the great delight of my tiny niece, I actually made one jump five times!

We were playing in the waters, when across the river we noticed....


A set of three birds--I was so excited when I realized it was a bald eagle.  The father, Mom and speckled young'un were there in full sight.  The osprey would dive bomb them every once in awhile, trying to chase them away.  It was pretty far away, so I didn't get that great of a picture.


If you click on this closeup--you can see there are hearts in the eagle's feathers.  We were SO amazed and happy to see this magnificent bird.


Then my darling niece insisted I take a picture of a "sorta" heart with a face.  Do you see the snails?  They're eyes.  And that rock heart face is smiling.  (grin)

Have a lovely day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!
