Hazy skies

Smoke drifting down from Canadian wildfires made for hazy skies over West Tennessee last night.  This picture was taken about an hour before sunset.

“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.”  ~C. S. Lewis

End of the day

“You have to work hard at being happy, just like you have to work hard at being miserable.  I wake up every day expecting all to be good and right.  And if it’s not, I set my mind to making it so by the end of the day.”  ~Dolly Parton

Sun going down, Moon coming up

On our walk last night we watched the warm sun sinking in the western sky as the full moon climbed slowly above the newly tilled farm fields to the east.  Both were stunning sights.

“We live on a blue planet that circles around a ball of fire next to a moon that moves the sea, and you don’t believe in miracles?”  ~Unknown

An eagle in the clouds

During one of our recent walks, my husband pointed out this cloud formation that looked like an eagle’s head.  It only lasted long enough to get a few shots before the higher winds swept it away.

~The clouds are always improvising, but the culprit is the wind.”  ~Unknown
