Autumn Sunsets

This past week, the sunsets were magnificent in the November sky. What a treat to see the beauty that our Creator planned for each new day.

“Art gallery?  Who needs it?  Look up at the swirling silver-lined clouds in the magnificent blue sky or at the silently blazing stars at midnight.  How could indoor art be anymore masterfully created than God’s museum of nature?” ~ Grey Livingston

“The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”  ~Christopher McCandless

“I find it incredibly amazing how at every sunset, the sky is a different shade.  No cloud is ever in the same place.  Each day is a new masterpiece.  A new wonder.  A new memory.”  ~Sanober Khan

“The sunsets are mad orange fools raging in the gloom.” ~Jack Kerouac

It was November – the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines.” ~Lucy Maud Montgomery

“Peering from some high window, at the gold of November sunset and feeling that if day has to become night, this is a beautiful way.” ~E. E. Cummings

“They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.” ~Psalms 65:8

Getting away

It was nice to get away recently and spend a few days relaxing with family at Chickasaw State Park.   The park is a rustic place, not too far from home, where one can be out in nature enjoying walking trails, picnics, camp fires, and a variety of lake activities.

“A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you’ve been taking.”  ~Earl Wilson

Stirring up the Snow Geese

The Snow Geese are back at Reelfoot Lake, and the Bald eagles are keeping an eye on them in hopes of acquiring an easy meal.  Whenever a lookout detects a threat from an eagle, a call goes out to the rest of the flock, and the Snow Geese take flight.

“If you feel the urge, don’t be afraid to go on a wild goose chase.  What do you think wild geese are for anyway?”  ~Will Rogers
