TIME - Allan Parsons
What a wondrous place to photograph
What a wonderful place to be
What a wondrous place to see God's light
That is what mattered
That was my gift
Wanted to share my journey in what I loved
Pure abject beauty

Nacreous clouds. Was driving with people from work early in the morning on the 1st of february when we saw this. I have never in my life seen anything like that, had hard time concentrating on driving.
A fuller shot of the balcony and organin the natural light and a darkened church. very peaceful place....
After the tour was done, the lights were turned off and only the natural light filtered in through the glass. I love the reflections on a real pipe organ....
This is another winter composite. It was great fun to create but i did realise very quickly, that cutting out a cream, brown and white subject from a cream, brown and white background is actually rather tricky... and not a lot of fun... time for a more colourful background, me thinks!
hope everyone is having a wonderfully brilliant weekend!

These photo's are dedicated to Ms Judith of American Ink Tattoos ... She did an amazing job taking a similar image and a collaborative vision of reincarnation, life and the after life to create an amazing piece of art. This Vase was later given to me by her apprentice who noticed the tattoo looked similar to something sitting in his father's attic.
A prayer that we may see and appreciate all the wonders of our world in the short time that we're here.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

The brine flies were a grey raft over land and water. After trying to capture them, I turned around and saw this little, brightly colored Ganesha tucked away by someone who cared about this place. What a lovely reminder of the people who see the water as a source of inspiration and light.
But even Ganesha was a landing spot for the brine flies. I will close this series with this photo, where bright colors and higher powers shine through the swarms of gray brine flies.
( EXPLORED!!! ) I've been told many times that it's not that you get knocked down in life that matters, it's that you get back up. To all my friends and relatives facing tough challenges right now, my faith these challenges can be overcome is with you.
God knows it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
- Dave Matthews Band, The Stone
I know I've said this before on here, but I've never been what I would describe as a religious person. I've always called myself spiritual. I believe in God (what that term means to me), but I've never been to church. I've prayed for a number of years, but I've always found my relationship with God to be personal. It's what I want it to be.
But it's funny...I've never felt closer to God than in the past few weeks. And by closer, I guess I mean that I feel God or some higher power is with me throughout my day. If I had said that out loud five years ago, I might have laughed at myself. But as hard as things have been for me, I truly believe that there is something bigger than myself that is holding me up and keeping me afloat and moving in the direction I need to be moving. And I can't even begin to describe the serenity that has provided me in the midst of this storm. Maybe "God" isn't even the right term. I don't know. I feel closer to nature and to the earth. I feel like I'm connecting with the world around me. And though it may sound silly, I feel comforted by light breezes, the rustle of leaves, the distant tweets of birds, the sensation of raindrops hitting my skin - as though each of those sensations were meant especially for me.
I talked yesterday about how hard it is for me to let go of control. I've always felt like I'm in the driver's seat of my own life - my hands on the wheel - directing myself where I need to go. Lately I've found that the more I try to cling to this notion, the more unmanageable my life seems to become. It's sort of a relief to let go and trust that something bigger than me is there to catch me and guide me where I need to be. It's a different kind of trust.
And maybe my relationship with this higher power isn't what I want it to be after all. Maybe I was fooling myself. Maybe my relationship with God or the universe or however you choose to describe it, is what I need when I need it, whether I realize it or not. All I know is that as of late, I haven't been asking for things that I want in my life in my prayers. I've been asking for the strength to withstand my current troubles, the knowledge I need to find my way, and clarity of mind so that I may know the right path when it presents itself. And it feels good. It feels comforting.
I spent some time sitting out in nature today. Just soaking up the sights and sounds around me. And I felt blessed. I know I'm rambling, but this is where my head is at today. I feel connected and grounded. And honestly, that's a pretty big step in the right direction.

La Soledad - Pink Martini
Solitude
An interesting topic
Some seek
Some dread
Someone ( HP ) is always there
:-)
In fact I am never really alone
A feeling is a feeling however
Wishing you moments of quiet satisfaction
Best served in the inner realm
No need for a crowd in that spiritual neighborhood

Mentally...Spiritually...Physically... Things closing in around you....the view is not so clear anymore...
Plus it's a chance to sneak in a Rush song title.
With the beautiful morning sunrises this week, it's been a great chance to walk in the forest as a diversion on the way to work and take some pictures.
I've been trying to catch sunbeams, which is harder than I thought. I like the contrast between the tall pines and the small, newly planted trees.

I've created a new set gathering all my Trees & Light shots together - take a moment to browse. No, take several with a coffee & chocolate.
The latest addition to my ongoing theme. 3.29.2017 I'm happy to see that the ongoing Beaver Island Trail project has not yet involved having to remove any of the surrounding landscape, especially this tree, which I have come to acknowledge and recognize spiritually as a "higher power".
I feel badly when my behavior bothers or embarrasses someone else. I know the feeling all too well. That is when I whisper the Serenity Prayer to myself;
God grant my the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,(others), the courage to change the things I can, (myself), and the wisdom to know the difference.
Each person handles changes and stress differently. I have no right to judge what you do and I won't. I would hope if you are a friend you would do the same for me.
If you feel it's needed; "I am sorry".

What is it that defines you? Faith is many things to many people. Since the passing of my brother in June, the world looks different to me than before. Far too often the world passes by without notice. In nature, many things take shape. Images come to form, or perhaps always were. What is it that you see in the sky, pushing its way through the clouds? What do you see? What do you believe? Stop and look round you and the miracle you live. God or no God, nature gives life the most it has every day.
