For a smile as wide as a country sunrise

Good morning and Happy Sunday everyone! How are you today? I hope you woke up with a smile and ready to jump into a brand new day. Not quite so cold this morning, light clouds have arrived. The moon is barely shining through those clouds. I’m waiting to get a pic of the moon at a particular phase, but time is running out for that once again. Sigh. I keep trying each month and each month it’s cloudy on the only days I can get the moon at just the right size that I am looking for. I have pics of the moon at many different phases from beginning to…almost the end. That’s the one I need. I still have time to wait, but, the moon is sinking lower all the time and there is only a small time that I can get it in just the right location for what I want. But there’s a couple days to go yet, so hopefully this time I can do it. Or wait until next month and try again.
Pictures of flowers are much easier to get sometimes and here are some for today…

These are a very delicate pink color of yarrow, found both as a wild form and garden variety. See if you can find the tiny fly on this flower.
And here we have an old fashioned garden variety flower called bleeding hearts. Don’t see them much in gardens anymore but a variety found in grandma’s garden for sure. I hope you like these pics chosen for you today, have a wonderful day and God bless!

Hello everyone on this chilly Saturday. I hope you are feeling well today and not too worried over all this coronavirus fears that seem to abound right now. People are afraid, worried and panicking even when this virus hasn’t even come to their community. Like here. No virus detected here yet, but people are already in panic mode. But really, all we need to do is use some common sense about this. People are buying stuff at stores like they won’t be able to go out again for the rest of the year. People are pushing and shoving, trying to get the most they can before someone else does. I think people need to calm down a bit and think logically about this. Panic doesn’t help anything, just makes things worse, and it causes more stress in people’s lives. Time to slow down. We do need to take precautions, but what is going on right now is just crazy.
So let’s sit back and enjoy some of nature’s beauty I found out here on Thursday…

We had ice fog the other night and it produced some beautiful frost on everything so I am sharing some pics I took that morning. It was actually quite beautiful that morning.
This was a branch on my landlord’s walnut tree, the whole tree looked like this.
So here we have all the beauty to look at, so much better than worrying and stressing about things. I hope you enjoy this little look at art in nature once again. Have a great weekend everyone and God bless!
