A Christmas Invitation

Since I live in the quaint little village of Leipers Fork,
I've decided to share my images
of Christmas in rural Tennessee.
No snow for a sleigh yet, but you're invited
to come along with me for a holiday ride.

The Last Rose of Summer


Alas, the time has come when most outdoor flowers have given in
to the cold of winter and will not reappear until next year.
My love for them does not, however, disappear.
Hence, this indoor shot!

Greetings

May your Thanksgiving be outstanding!

Nature's Ballet

With fascinating quickness and graceful beauty,
the tiny hummingbirds have exited
the stage of summer.
I will miss their daily performances on my front porch,
and applaud their return next season.

On The Bright Side

I love sunflowers! Why?
Because over the course of the day (in their budding stage),
sunflowers follow the sun from east to west,
and at night they return to an eastward orientation awaiting
the next sunrise.

Shouldn't we learn to live always watching for the light?

At "Parade Rest"

Memorial Day 2009

Every military person knows the commander's order
of "Parade Rest," a time to stand at ease.
On this national holiday, parades will march across America in honor
of those who have given us their ultimate sacrifice.

Thanks to the Webeloes (a younger division of the Boy Scouts) from Davidson
and Williamson County who placed U.S. flags on the graves of 35,000
of America's finest
at the National Military Cemetery in Nashville, TN.

How You Look At It

Sometimes your perspective makes all the difference!
What might appear as overwhelming can suddenly become
obtainable with a different point of view.

the happy wings of a buzzing bee.
