“We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made or only just happened.” ~Mark Twain
Do you take up to look up and see how beautiful the sky is?
Almost sunset photo while waiting for my children at school
Here is another almost sunset photo from atop a hill:
Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger. ~St. Basil
Rainy days are days I look forward to when the pitter-patter lulls us to sleep, allows us to stay in bed and cuddle with our love ones for a little while longer and to have an excuse to read a good book while drinking a hot cup of coffee. There is that other kind of rainy days though that I dread because it brings with it lots of water that flood our streets, causes the roofs to leak and makes soil on higher places roll down from where it should have been.
Rain washes away the grime and dirt even if brings with it more grime and dirt. It falls to make the earth greener even if it causes disaster when there’s too much.
Do you love the rain?
Bertrand Russell said : ” A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphre of quiet that true joy dare live.”
We live in a city filled with noise and people. Quiet moments like these are treasured and remembered and kept closed to the heart.
“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore
Sunset has a way to calm the soul, soothe the spirit and to add beauty to the world. Take time to stop and look up to admire the sunset sky, it’s always a different view everyday.
This mobile photographer wants to try a hand at taking photos of toys, capturing minute and intricate details.
Here is one I took a photo of using a mobile phone:
This is not exactly a toy but a ceramic angel which was given to guests when my just turned teen son was baptized when he was a few months old.
