For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi everyone on this slightly snowy day here at Steve’s Country! The sun is trying hard to break through the clouds however and I can now see larger patches of blue sky in the west. So nice to see that sunshine isn’t it? Remember that no matter how thick and heavy those clouds are, the sun remains shining and will soon break through bringing with it warmth and beauty back into our lives. But even when we think times are tough and it seems those clouds just don’t want to go away, we can still find so much beauty around us. We just need to look for it. And usually we will find that we really don’t have to look very far either. Sometimes it’s right in our own backyard. Or along the sidewalk as we go out for a little walk during the day, or even at night.
So let’s look at some of that beauty right now with these pics…
Here we have an odd looking little plant growing up from the moss. I believe it is part of the moss actually, sort of it’s “flower”.
The beautiful dark blue berries of the “clintonia” flower. Nice to look at, not so nice to eat however. Best to not eat these berries as they can cause serious stomach problems.
And then there is the beauty of a rose, or any other flower for that matter.
And if you enjoy night walks, we have the beauty of the moon, complete with craters. There is beauty all around in one form or another, we just need to look for it. I hope you have enjoyed these pics today, a few more than usual. I also hope that you all have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

I love nightwalks, But there is this imagination, I over think and over imagine the non existing particles and create worst creepy stories 😀 it helps me a lot 😉 I have this question, Just because you are in north and way too far on the other part of the world, Do you see a different side of the moon? and is the moon so close from your direction 🤔Because NASA works on that side it seems 😀

Everyone sees the same side of the moon, it is locked in orbit with the earth, so the same side always shows.😁🌕🌝 Guess there would be a slight difference in the distance to the moon, but not enough to notice just looking at it.😀🌙 I like walking at night,🚶♂️🚶♂️🌙 but not in town, there are gangs around that come out after dark,😳 not safe.😬😳😲

Yeah, that should be right, locked in orbit 😉 Plus distance, yes might have a difference ☺️ Night walking is fun😎 But these gang areas not a good idea. 😁 stay safe Steve ✨ Hope your pains are under control with the medications.

You can’t sleep if you don’t go to bed. That’s it! That’s why you are not sleeping enough. You have to be in bed to sleep properly, if you keep working you won’t sleep.😂😁😄😴

You should learn to relax, lie down, listen to the ocean waves, get yourself calm, close your eyes. And before you know it, you’re asleep.😁😴
