The Whole Picture

Several have commented or emailed me on the close up of the leaves lying within the little pool of water in the rock.   To give you a better idea of what the whole area looked like, I'm including this picture.   It only lends proof that there is always "so much more"

Fall

Since Colorado is not known for our beautiful trees, I so enjoyed our trip to the Northeast in the fall months a couple of years ago.   While there I took countless pictures, and just want to share a few of my favorites.   At the time, I emailed this first one to some friends and family with the comment "I didn't know God made pink trees".   Indeed, He does, and my eyes could barely absorb all of the colors we seen.

Looking up, as in the second picture, seemed to become my favorite position as it opened my vision and dreams and the world beyond.

I love this picture for it's depth, there is always

so much more when you look past what's in front of you.

The next picture is without a doubt my all time favorite.

There is nothing equal to reflection..... in nature, and in ourselves.

These pictures were taken at the "screw auger falls", near 

Grafton notch in New Hampshire.   There is so much more, and 

even beauty, in just a pile of dead leaves........

These had fallen off the trees into small pools indented

in flat, smooth rock surrounding the falls.

And last but not least, my own "tri-color" painting in our back yard

The Aspen, the Maple, and the Evergreen....in all their glory.

Out There

Out There

I went out there again
I seen, I played, I tasted
I touched the world and joined in
I did not let a moment be wasted
I laughed with you.

You welcomed me again
You offered your time
You showed me, you taught me
You gave me your prime
You laughed with me.

The comfort is now with me again
The world is quiet and content
The security I yearned for is mine
The satisfaction was lent,
The open door awaited me, and I am home.

Oh boy, there really is “no place like home”. We’ve had such a great time but it’s so nice to be back here in our own little world.

It was fun to see our old friends again at the reunion, and the new outfit was perfect…..The balloon festival was wonderful and awesome, our hosts were gracious and loving.

Returning home brought unloading the car, unpacking, chores to catch up on, and, an opportunity for rest. I’m sure it won’t be long and we’re be ready to get “out there” again……There is always "so much more" out there, and, here........ah, home.
