I arise today

Through strength of sky

Light of sun

Radiance of moon

Splendor of fire

Speed of lightning

Swiftness of wind

Depth of sea

Stability of earth

Firmness of rock.

Thought it might be time to revisit one of my favorite places...a great escape from all the hustle & bustle and stress & pressures of everyday life. Wish I could hop on a plane right now and spend a few days out here....the perfect spot to "refill the reservoir of deep strength in body & soul."

Have a fabulous weekend...enjoy all the games (go Illini)...and thanks for stopping by to visit :-)

Am Angelteich

Caught some late night lightning over camp. Light from a nearby town gave some interesting color.

Had lovely day at the Harlow Carr flower show in spite of the rain. These poppies are lovely, were growing by the stream.

Robin at RSPB Lochwinnoch

Heavy cloud cover over the Buffalo, NY region limited viewing for the total solar eclipse, but I did get more images than I thought I would.
