Bird On A Winter Beach

I love winter at the ocean.  Yes, it can be cold and windy, but the beach is empty and ours for just a little while.  Except for the birds who love it all year round.  This little guy was chilling out by the waves (almost looks like he’s napping), and then showed off his amazing flying skills to the camera.

Wherever you are on this Monday morning, breathe deeply of the air around you, see what beauty you can find, and smile. Because we can.  Isn’t life an amazing thing?  🙂  Slainte, Lisa

 

Canopies of Green

What is it about a tree that makes us feel so protected and sheltered?  Standing next to a tree, even when I was a little girl, I feel better.  I love to lean up against the strong trunks and gaze up into the lofty green leaves with sunlight diffusing through them. DSCN1232

So today, with Thanksgiving coming up tomorrow, I want to thank God the amazing Creator for all the beauty He made….trees, leaves, oceans, skies of all varieties, the wind on my face.  I am thankful for all of this and more, because when I see and feel these things, it feels like He’s right here, always.  Blessings, Lisa

Seymour Sycamore

Seymour Sycamore is big, really big.  Some might call him a giant.  He’s not really a sycamore tree, but that’s beside the point.  That’s what we called him when we bought our house, and any other name for him just seems wrong now.  He is old, older than our 1927 house, and he stands guard closely.  He provides shade in the hot summer and a sturdy branch for our children’s swing.  He could be a she; not really sure about these tree kind of things.  You arborists out there might say he’s an “it”, but he is too much a part of our everyday lives for me to do that.

The point?  None really, except to enjoy those little (or big) things that are around you.  Blessings from God that are all around us, if we look.  Slainte, Lisa
