Simply a Sunday Sunset 7 with Colours of my Sky

Come sit with me on my deck with a nice hot spiced wine and enjoy the skies nature painted for me in the month of November .  Normally I never get to see such beautiful skies here.  I think the more then normal cloudy days and mists help contribute to the extra colour this year.

So bundle up as its getting a little chilly on the deck and just imagine that hot spiced wine.

    

 

 The sky always carry's my spirit away to far away places. 

             

 Into the golden glow the light surrounds you.

 A warm feeling always comes within yourself.

      

 You want to fly onto rooftops for a better view.

 

    

     Ever changing making each time you look into the sky an new experience.

     

 Sometime the patterns help you to see something new in your spirit.

 

 Other times it just brings a peace that only natures beauty and God can bring to us.

 

  When the mist rises to the the skies..
You are drawn to look deeper.

   

 In looking deeper nature brings you closer to God.

 When you are close to God you reflect back the beauty that lies within all of us.

 

Well friends my hot spiced wine is empty
and it is really getting cold out.

May you have a blessed
Good Morning…  Good Afternoon…  Good Night…

After Rain

Nothing is more beautiful then to witness the drops of water  after a rain.   To seek out the diamonds left behind to enrich your lives.  They shine with the delicate balance of the many facets of nature.

The good rain, like the bad preacher,
does not know when to leave off.
-  Ralph Waldo Emerson 

Joy all creatures drink
At nature's bosoms...
~Friedrich von Schiller, "Ode to Joy," 1785, translated from German

Be praised, My Lord, through Sister Water;
she is very useful, and humble, and precious, and pure.
-   St. Francis of Assisi

Drinking nature is an unquenchable thirst.  ~Berri Clove

I am sure it is a great mistake always to know enough to go in when it rains. 
One may keep snug and dry by such knowledge,
but one misses a world of loveliness.
-  Adeline Knapp

Innumerable as the stars of night,
Or stars of morning, dewdrops which the sun
Impearls on every leaf and every flower.
-   John Milton

 Raindrops are like fairy whispers.  ~Author Unknown

Water is the driver of Nature.
-   Leonardo da Vinci  

By means of water, we give life to everything.
-   Koran,  21:30

Everywhere water is a thing of beauty gleaming in the dewdrop,
singing in the summer rain.
-  John Ballantine Gough

 

 

So again

Good Morning...   Good Afternoon...    Good Night…

Whatever it is for you

Rushing Water

 

 Let the Rivers Flow
I came where the river ran over stones;
My ears knew an early joy.
And all the waters of all the streams
Sang in my veins that summer day.
-  Theodore Roethke, The Waking, 1948

Our bodies are molded rivers.
-   Novalis

Words are mere bubbles of water, but deeds are drops of gold. - Chinese proverb

When time comes for us to again rejoin the infinite stream of water flowing to and from the great timeless ocean, our little droplet of soulful water will once again flow with the endless stream. - William E. Marks, The Holy Order Of Water

A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, 
living part of the very earth itself.
-   Laura Gilpin

 Like swift water, an active mind never stagnates.
–author unknown 

Let the past drift away with the water. - Japanese saying

 

Nature tops the list of potent tranquilizers and stress reducers. The mere sound of moving water has been shown to lower blood pressure. - Patch Adams

 

For many of us, water simply flows from a faucet, and we
think little about it beyond this point of contact.  We have lost
a sense of respect for the wild river, for the complex workings
of a wetland, for the intricate web of life that water supports.
-   Sandra Postel, Last Oasis: Facing Water Scarcity

Life is water when it dies so do you
  Saving your water may save your life
God gave us both the beauty and the health giving abilities that only water can hold.
It supports so much. 
Be supportive of good clean natural water.
-author Here I Am/Carrie

So go with the flow and have a
Good Morning…  Good Afternoon…   Good Night…
What ever it is to you.

It was a Blue Day on November 8 2008

 

Nature showed its beauty in your day of passing.

It gave me a Blue Day.....

 

The rising blue mist of the spirit of you

slowly running through the valley..

As once you roamed freely..

  

 

The soft snow falling down,

floating slowly from the sky above..

Washing my tears of your memory....

  

Listening to the Stillness..

My heart aches for your presence

As I walk alone unprotected..

 

 

But you surround me with the mist..

All around me you swirl..

The evening wears on as darkness descends...

  

Soon the memories I take are no longer blue.... 

But begin to show only black..

 

 

Its time to let you go...

The Night is arriving

as the cycle of life ends....

 

 

Sleep my friend

in your Mist of Dreams

where tears drop no more...

 

But in all things Life moves on and so shall I...

The snow is gone as with the blue colour
but the mist lingers..

In Loving memory of Buster Brown my dog who passed away 2 years ago.

Seeds of Life

From the winds the colors of Autumn are slowing fading away revealing what looks like the end of life.   But from death comes the seeds that will produce something new.  The old life may crumble to the ground, but the seeds of life have been sowed.

Genesis 1:11-12 God created plants
Then God said, “let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seeds in it, according to their various kinds.” 

And it was so the land produce vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.
And God saw that it was good.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.  - Leo Buscaglia

A day is Eternity's seed, and we are its Gardeners.
~Erika Harris

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.  ~Robert Louis Stevenson

Scatter seeds of kindness everywhere you go; Scatter bits of courtesy-watch them grow and grow. Gather buds of friendship, keep them till full-blown; You will find more happiness than you have ever known. - Amy R. Raabe

Times of stress and difficulty are seasons of opportunity when the seeds of progress are sown. Thomas F. Woodlock

Your heart is full of fertile seeds, waiting to sprout.
- Morihei Ueshiba

With every deed you are sowing a seed, though the harvest you may not see.  - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Many a humble soul will be amazed to find that the seed it sowed in weakness, in the dust of daily life, has blossomed into immortal flowers under the eye of the Lord.
- Harriet Beecher Stowe

So our world may sometimes seem colorless and dead.  But with the right circumstances and that special touch that only nature and God can provide, the seeds we sow will continue to spread.

When we loose someone close to us.  They are not gone for the seeds they planted thru-out their lives will continue to grow and resonate into this world of ours.

Like nature your loving thoughts are like a seeds that you are always planting.  Within every seed is a part of you that  grows and become something beautiful.

Dedicated to those very special people
I know who recently lost a loved one.

Plant your seeds today
and have a
Good Morning…   Good Afternoon…  Good Night…
What ever it is to you…
