I still can't get over the fact that I got to see an Eastern Bluebird. I had been whining to myself that everyone was seeing them, and I hadn't been able to go anywhere where they were! And while sitting in the Beetle bug, in flew that beauty! Landed between the Eagles and me! How blessed was I!
So much to be thankful for during this wonderful Christmas season. It's been a great day for me and I'm thankful for my daughters and their families. Any day spent with a grandkid is like a day basking in the sunshine.
Oh, blessings
on the intimacy
inside fruition,
be it foxes
or the fireflies
or the dampness inside the petals
of a thousand flowers.
-----Mary Oliver
A Christmas Blessing by Carolyn Arends
May your receive the good gift of laughter
May you feel the love of your friends near and far
May you be filled with the joy of the season
And may there be peace in your home and your heart
May the Christmas star light your way
Even today, even today
May the angel choir ring in your ear
"Christ is here, Christ is here"
May the one who has come guide you and keep you
May you seek his face as all wise men still do
And may Bethlehem's road rise up to meet you
Till you find him and see that God is with you
May the Christmas star light your way ...
Oh may Bethlehem's road rise up to meet you
Till you find him and see that God is with you
May you find him and see that God is with you
May the Christmas star light your way ...
Sometimes while observing nature it reminds me to count my blessings. When my daughter was about ten years old once said, "I don't have everything I want but I have everything I need." You can learn a lot listening to children too.
While we were at this spot a group of six or seven people started to gather. They apparently were there for a spiritual blessing of some sort. Not a traditional religion but something New Age! They picked a great spot for it!! Thanks for all of you who have visited and commented! Much appreciated!!
Lovely pastel colors in the December sky with palm trees reflecting their shimmering glow in the lake water near my place in Palm Desert, California. Nature's grace comes and goes its nice to honor her from time to time. Blessings.

"Every bird, every tree, every flower reminds me what a blessing and privilege it is just to be alive."

A view from my porch. The birds are the Greater Racket-Tailed Drongos. They were basking at dusk while perched on an Indian Laburnum tree. This shot is similar to an earlier upload, but this one was clicked a bit later than the earlier one and so the colour of the sky had changed. Also this one was clicked with the R10 and RF 18-150mm kit lens.
Reflect upon your present blessings -- of which every man has many -- not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.”

Dear Flickr friends, I will be away for a while. Till then ....
“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.” [ Irish Blessing ]

"May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day.
May songbirds serenade you every step along the way.
May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue.
And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through."

For Cambodians, water blessings are a sacred, spiritual experience; it is a traditional practice that dates back to ancient times and is performed in most of the pagodas across Cambodia. This kind of blessing involves vessels of blessed water being poured over your head while the monks chant. This ritual is believed to bring good luck and happiness.
If we breathe the scent of goodly grass, the fragrance
of spices, the aroma of good fruits, we pronounce a
blessing over the pleasure.
- Shmuel Y. Agnon
The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.
- George William Curtis
"And how can I tell you about a tropical garden,
Slender palms, the scent of inconceivable herbs..."
