Sun Shining on a Rain Shower

As we headed towards home, the sight that we saw up ahead was stunning. Sun rays were shining upon and accenting an isolated afternoon rain shower. This was one of those “let’s pull over and watch this” moments.

“If we are shut in by life’s troubles, we can look to the open heaven above us.” ~James M. Campbell

Dragonflies

During these hot and humid days of summer, while other critters are hidden away in shady, cooler places, dragonflies seem to be out in good number, enjoying the sun.

“When the heat of the summer
Made drowsy the land,
A dragon-fly came
And sat on my hand.”
~Eleanor Farjeon

Sunny Faces

I’m enjoying the sunny faces smiling up at me from all the beautiful summer gardens.

It was only a sunny smile,
and little it cost in the giving,
but like morning light
it scattered the night
and made the day worth living.
~F. Scott Fitzgerald
