I live in a town on the edge of the Napa-Sonoma Marshes Wildlife Area. This is 15,200 acres of baylands, tidal sloughs and wetland habitat – most of which is accessible only by boat.
At “We’re Here!” we are recognizing today that Life is beautiful!

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL - THE AFTERS
My poem and my picture were inspired by my good friend Heinrich and his picture entitled "The Air That I Breathe".
Vielen dank, mein lieber Freund : 0)
Rüppell's Griffon
The air that I breathe tastes all the sweeter for knowing you
my head is in the clouds looking towards the moon
high up here so far from all the wilderness
where I wandered aimlessly destined to meet my end too soon
and if you ever wondered if the birds fly high above the clouds
I can tell you that they do; freely on strong angels' wings
I tell you of the story of the Rüppell's Griffon
who flew a mile and a half higher than Mount Everest
he had a wingspan of maybe ten feet wide
37,900 feet high above the Ivory coast he sadly met his end
sucked into the engine of a passing jet
nature's magnificent creation ended by the machinations of men
I know he was a vulture but that was in his nature
he cannot help to be born this way no more than we I can concede
but it is a reminder to us all
to slow our lives down; forget the speed
we are here for only the blinking of an eye
and that's not very long
before I go I like to think
I will achieve some good and find the niche where I belong
So here I am so high above the world where scurrying minute ants
go daily hurrying about their business
the people can't sit still with those little “ants in their pants”
down there I always felt so fractious
restless; keen to get to journey's end
but up here stillness eases and frees my mind
and I realise it is the not knowing what is around the bend
that is the most important thing
not where we go or why
but what we do along the way
in proportion to the sky
magnificent and grandiose the sky looks down on us
we should at least ways try our very best
to do all we can without the need for any fuss
contemplating at this heady height
I put the world to rights
then let the wonder fill my eyes
at the incredible endless sights
if you ever get the chance
or want to run away
remember to climb; not fall down more
get as close to Heaven on Earth as you can
for in the silence that ensues we are reborn
and the slate of past mistakes wiped clean
and I would give most everything I have
to stand here hand in hand with you at once peaceful and serene.

See the stars with my morning eyes

A esperança é a última a morrer...
O amor aparece quando menos esperamos...
É maravilhoso quando a vida é colorida!!...
É fabulástico o dourado reluzente!!...
:D
I was forgotten
Until you called my name
Lost in the shadows
Until you shined your light my way
Now I believe again In all my dreams again
I'm wide eyed and innocent
Those doubting days
Are so far away and oh
I will fall
And you will catch me always
Time has taught me this
I will fly
And you'll be there to guide me
Straight up to my heart's highest wish
I feel you close to me
And I know what love is
Now there's no mountain
Too high for me to climb
No ocean so wide
That I could not reach the other side
Now I believe in me
Cause you live and breather in me
And nothing can come between
We are one star
No night can darken, Oh
I will fall
And you will catch me always
Time has taught me this
I will fly
And you'll be there to guide me
Straight up to my heart's highest wish
I feel you close to me
And I know what love is
It's an unspoken thing
A quiet opening
There are no words that can go that deep
But I know
I know
I will fall
And you will catch me always
Time has taught me this
I will fly
And you'll be there to guide me
Straight up to my heart's highest wish
I feel you close to me
And I know what love is
~ I know what love is - Celine Dion
One day, while I was searching for bugs under the burning sun, my brother said to Ma: “Ma... your daughter is turning into Blue Solar Rose !!”
Now my silly brother is going to get married !! ♥ ♥ ♥ :))
This was the song when they had their first dance, and the wedding now will be on 30th June, and I have 3 jobs in one: the Groom’s Sister, the wedding sub-supervisor, and the Photographer !! :))
And after that, they are going to Turkey for the honeymoon..... how lovely !!
I’m going to steal some of his photos when he gets back, hehehe :D
I’m gonna miss his cute silliness as well, always make us laugh :D
This is my dress and jewelries I’m going to wear in the wedding :)
Maybe I won’t post photos for a while till then, we are so busy these days in the wedding preparations and visitors coming, but I will try my best to do some peeking at night to see your photos :)
And Life is Beautiful ♥ ..... hmmmm...... Romantic !! :))
