we receive a gift from the sky, beautiful clouds after the sunset, drifting away over our garden.../Ödmjukt, vi tar emot en gåva från himlen, fina moln vid skymningen, över vår trädgård.../ Humildemente, recibimos un regalo del cielo, nubes al atardecer, alejándose sobre el jardín de casa...(DSC_9812-3)
I had the best day yesterday and it started with this. sunrise was 7:30ish but I was here at 6:00 because I didn't want to miss anything and wasn't disappointed. I've already seen several shots of this glorious sunrise so I'm going to lead with it's beginning. the birds in the surrounding trees were starting to sing and the ducks had just started taking flight when the first glow hits Rainier and it became visible after it's evening in the clouds. the dawn will become magnificent, but I think that it's important to remember it's humble beginning.

*[A very experienced wildlife photographer once told me (when I was younger) to
always try and capture the eyes. The eyes tell the story. So that is what I try to do]
My humble opinion. Window light with silver reflector. I cleaned up his eyes digitally although they weren't too bad. Otherwise it is a mild edit and slight vignette because edges were bright.
Making the most of some regifted potpourri, a Pelagic Cormorant tests out its nest on Gull Island in Kachemak Bay near Homer, Alaska.
so here it all happened... i walked humbly in the front zoo gates, as a little school kid would, anticipating the most wondrous of things.. came across mountain goats, soon a silverback gorilla, and then this tall and gentle giant, an African giraffe. so very tall i think it a statue; and so you see it came to wonderful life, turning from stone into flesh - at that very moment, my heart 'burst' out the chest and the tears stream down the face. creation has then stunned me with her beauty and i devoted myself to the faith from this very day. thank you flickr friends, because it was you, who led me there...
began by reading the bible on daily basis and this then helped me through countless trials and tribulations. now i'm a regular church attender, my sister, who lives in Cape Town, she too now follows in the faith. we need it.
and her and me couldn't be without it...

I've always loved daisies in all their forms, but the daisies that appear, without fail, every year in my lawn are possibly my favourites. There's something very comforting and familiar about the humble daisy.
Sheyenne River in the Sheyenne River Valley - Barnes County, North Dakota. 2/22
The river winds throughout the valley, hugging a few abandoned farmsteads. The North Dakota Fisheries and Wildlife has a few fish hatcheries down here, one being at Baldhill Dam where the river turns into Lake Ashtabula. Many waterfowl protected wetlands as well.
Personally, I love there are many historic or culturally significant sites in this area. Fascinating to research and explore.
My little live holiday tree...I'm sure it's anxious for it's move to the great outdoors -- hopefully will find a good home in a container on my patio :-)
HWW!
Many of the houses in Bannock are small humble structures like this one. The town of Bannock thrived in the 1860's as a result of successful gold mining in the area. But the population of Bannock declined as gold and other minerals began to be mined elsewhere. In addition, the railroad went to a nearby town. Eventually the town became a ghost town. Due to the efforts of a few residents in the area, the properties were acquired by the state of Montana and made into a park for the purpose of preservation.
So glad that I notice this little bird is a frequent visitor. S/he was probably always there but I did not see her/him until last summer when I had to take pause and rest. So I have a particular fondness for this lovely and I think her/his eyes are beautiful.
God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God.
(1st Peter 5:5-6)
Mom said, we have to be humble .....
as she said that :
'The LORD upholdeth all that fall,
and raiseth up all those that be bowed down'
Psalm 145:14 (KJV)
The horse. Here is nobility without conceit, friendship without envy, beauty without vanity. — Ronald Duncan
I think the humble horse is my favorite subject matter to photograph. They are such beautiful creatures and they add a touch of romance to any landscape they're in. Ghost, the subject of this image, is my neighbor's horse. I love photographing him & I admire his free spirit.

I cannot remember many times in my life where I have felt so utterly weak, broken, and destroyed. I am weary beyond what I knew I could be. This process is painful and I don’t know why it has to be this way, but it is not always for me to know the why in the moment. Suffering is hard to understand and it often makes little sense to us. To me right now this doesn’t all make all that much sense, it just hurts a lot. But I chose to still trust in God knowing that He is faithful and good! O Lord would you keep me humble and dependent on You. Keep my soul and preserve my life, for my soul feels faint and my bones feel weary. My body feels like it is wasting away and my soul feels like it cannot push through anymore; yet, I will still chose to put my hope in God. For where else would I go, for You O Lord have the words of eternal life and it is in Your arms that I take refuge!
“Home. The word circled comfortably in my mouth like bubble gum, swished around sweetly soft and satisfying. Home. Try saying it aloud to yourself. Home. Isn’t it like taking a bite of something lovely?"

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
