“There are people who can achieve huge success in life, while adding a bit of fun and a splash of colour to this increasingly grey world.” ~Peter James
Day is done
The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of Night,
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in flight.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Rainbow
This past weekend we saw a beautiful rainbow where both ends extended down and “appeared” to touch the ground. Unfortunately, no pots of gold.
“My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began; So is it now I am a man … ” ~William Wordsworth
Purple sky
The vaulted void of purple sky
That everywhere extends,
That stretches from the dazzled eye,
In space that never ends;
A morning whose uprisen sun
No setting e’er shall see;
A day that comes without a noon
Such is eternity.
~John Clare
Radiance
“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” ~Victor Hugo
A new view every day
I never grow tired of walking down our country road. The ever changing sky seldom disappoints with new and beautiful scenes to gaze at in wonderment.
“Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who is perfect in knowledge? [Job 37:16]
“Of all man’s works of art, a cathedral is greatest.
A vast and majestic tree is greater than that.”
~Henry Ward Beecher
Cloud wisps
Crescent moon and venus
Two photos of the waxing crescent moon and venus taken on July 18. The first photo was taken shortly before sunset. The second photo was taken after sunset right before they dipped below the western horizon. The moon took on an orange glow.
