The Oncoming Storm

Beautiful Anguilla

I much prefer this kind of storm to the one that’s coming our way tonight.  This storm had warm winds, rain that cooled hot skin, and turbulent green-blue water.  This other one, Pax, is supposedly going to have lots of cold white stuff that just keeps coming to the tune of 8-12 inches.  And I know that I should have a good attitude, love whatever comes my way, but I’m just not there.  So I’ll do my usual distraction technique and look at pictures like this, pretend, dream, and before I know it, Pax will be a memory.  For those of you who love snow, my apologies.  For those of you who are feeling like me, happy dreaming.  😉  Slainte, Lisa

The Way We’ve Come

The way we’ve come is sometimes fair

Sometimes filled with pain

But always there is Someone who

Will walk beside, before, after, always

He is real, He is love, He is there.

Fairytale Flora

Growing in a magical garden, bigger than life, set apart for a time while we walked there…flora from a fairytale.   May your Monday be green and growing, if not in colours then in love.   Slainte, Lisa

*All pictures taken at Blarney Castle Gardens, County Cork Ireland.  Although a huge tourist attraction, it is definitely worth a visit even for the gardens alone.  🙂

Biggest Fake Rocks I’ve Ever Seen

These giant fake rocks are in the port of St. Maarten in the Caribbean.  This port was enhanced after big storms destroyed much of the port infrastructure in 1995.  These composite rocks help to protect the port from further water damage.  Although I admire their ingenuity and practicality, they just aren’t the same as real rocks.  No crags, no dents, no character.  Poor rocks that aren’t rocks.  They’re trying their best though; I guess I should cut them some slack.  😉  Have a wonderful weekend!  Lisa
