This is yet another place of erosion miracle. It is between Page and Kanab and is referred to as the Paria Toadstools. Easy, short hike.

Since a lot of people over here are uploading beautiful mushroom photos, I thought: I can not stay behind.

"Where there is great love, there are always miracles." - Willa Cather

This week saw the emergence of four monarch butterflies in the garden,

including two of these, today. This is one of them.

Happy birthDay, little miracles....

yesterday I was photographing a concert of my friend, and suddenly from under the curtains of the entrance to the auditorium crawled out this miracle

A look I am toying with for our church's Easter services.

I just love this girl's facemold. She is so incredibly beautiful. She has been customized by me.

The result of a recent exploration of Still Life Photography....here I tried combining religion and fashion. A combination of the miracle of the loaves & fishes and some fashion accessories. with some renaissance symbolism added in.

"There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. When they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the wedding was all finished, the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said ‘Woman, why turn to me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water’, and they filled them to the brim. ‘Draw some out now’ he told them ‘and take it to the steward.’ They did this; the steward tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from – only the servants who had drawn the water knew – the steward called the bridegroom and said; ‘People generally serve the best wine first, and keep the cheaper sort till the guests have had plenty to drink; but you have kept the best wine till now.’

This was the first of the signs given by Jesus: it was given at Cana in Galilee. He let his glory be seen, and his disciples believed in him."

– John 2:1-11, which is today's Gospel at Mass.

Mother Nature performs her own, daily ; the trick is, being able to recognise them. This is an orchid in a pot sitting on a bathroom window ledge, and is backlit by natural daylight streaming through a frosted glass window. The shot was handheld and flash was not used.

After all, I don’t see why I am always asking for private, individual, selfish miracles when every year there are miracles like white dogwood. ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh

After last night's defeat, England need a miracle to stay in the World Cup!

Childhood is the world of miracle or of magic: it is as if creation rose luminously out of the night, all new and fresh and astonishing.

Miracles

Walt Whitman, 1819 - 1892

Why, who makes much of a miracle?

As to me I know of nothing else but miracles,

Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,

Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,

Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water,

Or stand under trees in the woods,

Or talk by day with any one I love, or sleep in the bed at night with any one I love,

Or sit at table at dinner with the rest,

Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,

Or watch honey-bees busy around the hive of a summer forenoon,

Or animals feeding in the fields,

Or birds, or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,

Or the wonderfulness of the sundown, or of stars shining so quiet and bright,

Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring;

These with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,

The whole referring, yet each distinct and in its place.

To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,

Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,

Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same,

Every foot of the interior swarms with the same.

To me the sea is a continual miracle,

The fishes that swim—the rocks—the motion of the waves—the ships with men in them,

What stranger miracles are there?

found this little guy in my back yard, he was pretty cool

Miracle is giving me the slow squint look. Just a bit earlier she was arguing with BB about custody of the paper bag on the floor. She’s the senior cat of our troupe.

He seemed to be waiting for a miracle to save him from the depths his life had reached and take him to a land of dreams.

Sometimes I think Sanshiro is a special gift. After I found him homeless during new year 2007 at the beach, he ran around my feet, after knowing he was left alone, no mother and he was too young. For 4-5 seconds I decide to adopt him.. He was home and now so happy and be loved from all. He plays and share times a day with all of us.

Every day, several times a day since new year to now, April, he tries to drink milk from my Labrador dog "Poon". I think its just because he misses his mom and want to sleep in such warmful ground like that...

Just recently I wonder why he make noise so real while sucking and why he does this for many months. So I check... Its miracle that my dog, not pregnant nor giving birth but she has MILK for a young cat..

She cleans Sanshiro with love and care and Sanshiro, the small kitten also lit the huge dog too. They often sleep together and often make happy sighs..

I just think this is MIRACEL OF LOVE indeed.

Maybe Sanshiro is my special gift

This photo was taken in front yard garden. Sunlight spotted on two bodies by coincidence. I took lots of shot of this happy moments and once for a while Sanshiro open his eyes and looked upward as if he was happy seeing something.

I sat on ground taking those shots and feel enchanted by this LOVE

L'any 1747 els administradors del Miracle encomanen a un dels escultors catalans més en voga, Carles Morató, la construcció d'un retaule de gran estil. El retaule del Miracle és estiísticament un model acabat d'art barroc català de l'època de transició (1730-1770). En opinió dels experts, aquesta obra esta situada entre les obres mestres del seu temps a casa nostra. Està format per tres cossos sobreposats. Integren el primer dos grups de pedestals enmig dels quals hi ha l'altar, una senzilla mesa de fusta, que porta gravat en el medallonet central l'any 1758. A tocar de l'ara de l'altar apareix el primer sagrari de reserva, situat a l'alçada del primer graó de l'escalinata que munta vers el sagrari gran d'exposició. Aquest te forma de baldaquí sostingut per sis columnes d'uns dos metres d'alçada; en els fons, unes altres dues columnes més petites aguanten l'arc sota el qual es col·locava l'arqueta o monument els dies de solemne exposició del Santíssim. El timpà de damunt el sagrari reprodueix en baix relleu l'escena de l'aparició.

Inmediatament sobre aquest primer cos s'eleva el segon amb la gran fornícula o portalada que fa de marc a la imatge de la Verge, col·locada en una peanya de 30 cm d'alçacada. És un tron opulent i de gran efecte que per la part de darrere es prolonga formant un cambró, al qual donen accés dues escales amb les corresponents portes obertes als costats del retaule, a peu pla del presbiteri. A banda i banda d'aquesta portalada central, descansen sobre altres tantes peanyes sis estàtues gegantines: a la dreta del retaule, sant Josep, sant Ramon Nonat, i sant Esteve; a l'esquerra, sant Joan Baptista, sant Pere i sant Tomàs apòstol. Darrera les imatges s'eleven columnes ornades amb garlandes de flors, fruits i fullatges, i les pilastres que sostenen l'enorme frontó curvilini, en el centre del qual apareix l'Esperit Sant, que representan la caritat i flanquejada per dues estàtues que representen la fe i l'esperança. A continuació s'alcen dos grups de pilastres que formen el tercer cos. L'estàtua imponent de sant Martí de tres metres d'alt; entre dos àngels , en constitueixen el centre. Dos grans gerros de flors i quatre àngels, els del mig portant la bola del món, coronen el majestuós retaule.

Stuff built with flowers.

Couldn't decide which I liked best so I put this one up also.

WHY! who makes much of a miracle?

As to me, I know of nothing else but miracles,

Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,

Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,

Or wade with naked feet along the beach, just in the edge of the water,

Or stand under trees in the woods,

Or talk by day with any one I love—or sleep in the bed at night with any one I love,

Or sit at table at dinner with my mother,

Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,

Or watch honey-bees busy around the hive, of a summer forenoon,

Or animals feeding in the fields,

Or birds—or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,

Or the wonderfulness of the sun-down—or of stars shining so quiet and bright,

Or the exquisite, delicate, thin curve of the new moon in spring;

Or whether I go among those I like best, and that like me best—mechanics, boatmen, farmers,

Or among the savans—or to the soiree—or to the opera,

Or stand a long while looking at the movements of machinery,

Or behold children at their sports,

Or the admirable sight of the perfect old man, or the perfect old woman,

Or the sick in hospitals, or the dead carried to burial,

Or my own eyes and figure in the glass;

These, with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles, The whole referring—yet each distinct, and in its place.

To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,

Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,

Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same,

Every foot of the interior swarms with the same;

Every spear of grass—the frames, limbs, organs, of men and women, and all thatconcerns them,

All these to me are unspeakably perfect miracles.

To me the sea is a continual miracle;

The fishes that swim—the rocks—the motion of the waves—the ships, with menin them,

What stranger miracles are there?

"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly,

our whole life would change."

Due to poor weather conditions and not shooting much lately, I'm going through and reprocessing and posting some of my older shots.

Cliffs Erie taconite reclaim train rolls east, about to pass through Cramer Tunnel in Minnesota's Arrowhead on their way to Taconite Harbor. The five F-units sounded almost as awesome as they looked, bringing their train up and down the hill at Taconite Harbor.

As the train came around the corner at Cramer Tunnel, the dark overcast shadows blanketed the scene. As the train crawled closer and closer, a tiny sliver of light crept in front of the train. By some miracle of the railfan gods, the sliver opened up at the last minute and bathed the power with glorious sunshine. This is one of my favorite shots I've ever captured, and the shot doesn't do the miracle sucker hole justice. I'll have to spot the video from this location, as the 15 seconds of sun couldn't have been better timed.

I'm glad there are no gods. Otherwise, I'd have to choose. Which god should I believe in? Ah, I don't mean Allah or Mercury or whatever. I mean within the Christian faith. It's almost as bad as choosing a salad dressing in an American restaurant. Which should I choose to assure me of an afterlife?

..no, not that weed :-)

Good morning. On this typically slow day here on flickr I thought I would post another series on a wildflower. Featured is a true miracle weed, being Prunella vulgaris or more commonly known as Selfheal or Heal-all. While it's common across the United States and Canada it's very low growing and inconspicuous. You've probably walked right by it when afield and never noticed it or gave it a second thought. Especially since it's flowers are extremely small and not very showy.

To give a sense of scale to the small flowers I've posted a couple of pictures in the comment section with common butterflies feeding on them. Since the plant is so low growing I had to almost literally lie on the ground for the butterfly shots. The two photos of the wildflower itself were photographed at "the pond across the street" while the butterfly pics were taken in an area near my favorite field.

I hope you enjoy this series on this lovely, as well as beneficial, wildflower and find the text in the comment section informative.

Thank you for visiting...and I hope you have a most pleasant Saturday and weekend.
