The Lovely Plumeria

All winter long.....

the Plumeria appears as a

"stick figure"

in the garden.

Come spring,  leaves

appear on the sticks.

Slowly but surely a stem

develops buds

and then the "magic" happens.

Photos taken after a rain....

note tiny raindrops still

present on the pure white blooms.

Have a beautiful day!  Dee Dee

Yummy Orange Berries

The  orange berries have

ripened on our neighbor's tree.....

and the  Mockingbirds, mostly, have

staked their claim to ownership.....

I'm not sure about these expressions....

but I'm thinking they wanted me to

"clear off" with the camera,

 and leave them to their

business of eating......yummy orange berries. 

I've become quite the "bird watcher"

this summer, thanks to Cornell University's

Ornithology program....study of birds.

Enjoying the moments......Dee Dee

Think On This

Hydrqangea....a sweet cottage image....sigh.....

You have to dream things out.

It keeps a kind of an ideal before you.

You see it first in your mind

and then....

you set about to try and make it like

the ideal.

If you want a garden....

Why, I guess

you've got to dream a garden.

His Favorite Color

Found.......

one small orange VW car,

lying on my

 living room white sofa.

I'm quite sure who it belongs to.

He's four years old, and has

the prettiest hazel eyes you've

every seen in your life.

His favorite color is orange.

Have a beautiful day! Dee Dee

Color Resemblance In Nature

My favorite colored Coleus

and you can see why....

lovely to see in early morning sunlight....

I can see that the Creator

liked these colors together

so much........

that He splashed them on one

of  His many Lilies.....

I'm completely impressed

and totally in awe.  He does

amazingly good work!

Have a beautiful week, everyone.....Dee Dee

"He's Done Enough"

Over a great cup of coffee,

I welcomed the morning with

good thoughts

while listening to

the Family Christian Radio.

I liked what I heard and

I've  pondered the

thoughts off and on all day long,

of  God's blessings and faithfulness.....

"He's done enough,

even if He

does nothing else for me."

This could be said by each and

everyone of us.

Have a blessed Lord's day......Dee Dee
