Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



The first one, shadows with such character !

A crisp parade
amidst the green,
they stand
at attention,
throughout
the travels
of
the golden chief
across the sky.

Some gilded moments
speckled in the green,
Some whispers,
about
the clouds
posing audaciously
in the lake.

Soon,
The lights
unfold
across the
faraway hills,
honoring
the effort
of a setting Sun.

They stand
again
at attention
as the Stars
appear and shine.

Salute.
Its time to sing
the Star Spangled Banner
again.....

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
~Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet



A wise lover values not so much the gift of the lover as the love of the giver. ~Thomas รก Kempis



A hug is a great gift - one size fits all, and it's easy to exchange. ~Author Unknown



I didn't want to tell the tree or weed what it was. I wanted it to tell me something and through me express its meaning in nature. ~Wynn Bullock



You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need. ~Vernon Howard



It pleases me to take amateur photographs of my garden, and it pleases my garden to make my photographs look professional. ~Robert Brault



There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is! ~DeGriff
