National Photography Day -- August 19th

 To all who carry a camera and believe in the power and joy

of taking/making photos--

especially on National Photography Day--

Happy review of all your captured images!

This photographer spent two amazing early hours with a congregation of egrets. 

Daily I am rewarded on the path along Santiago creek

near my home--but never so many birds at one time. 

 

                              

   

Recalling the advice of poet Rainer Maria Rilke:

. . . attach yourself to Nature, the simple and small . . .        (Letters, 1903)

GLORIA (R.I.P.)

       My Dear Sister Gloria,

       Gone from our world--two years now--we speak love to you and about you.

       Remembering with grateful hearts your generosity in all ways. 

       Your journey is ended; our journey continues.

       Love and Peace from all your family & friends.

            

                                                  

Remembering the Veteran

                                   With Love

Jane Kenyon

            As promised a little moment from my cento collection:  

 

                 The poet Jane Kenyon was born on this day in 1947. 

                                     She died of leukemia in 1995.

                           Her beloved husband was Donald Hall

                                                              

                                                             

                                            Beautiful Poet

                                                                           Rest in Peace

Begin Again . . .with "A Prayer"

 Dear Friends, 

 Because of my absence from this space for so long, I thought

 it might be nice to put a song in your heart. Here is one that

 never fails to move me.

And during these April Days of Poetry--

may we find the right words 

to express our sadness and hope for the world around us.
