The Sea…A Poem.
I had forgotten about this vacation poem which should have been posted earlier, but here it is now anyway. I hope you enjoy.
THE SEA
As I look out across the sea,
What are the wonders there for me.
With water warm and very blue,
I gain new love for you it’s true.
As I gaze on the waves so fair,
With the gulls floating through the air.
I try to ponder all today,
Oh, such beauty you send my way.
The rising sun upon the sea,
Giving a touch of warmth so free.
It shines on the top of each wave,
More beauty for my eyes to save.
Soft red and pink of setting sun,
Ending the day of simple fun.
All that beauty I find in you,
I know it now and that is true.

Sunday’s Pictures #2.
Good morning everyone and here we are with the second in this month’s series of wildflowers from this area. This week I am showing just yellow wildflowers and of course this is just a sample of the many yellow wildflowers that we have here. I hope you will enjoy these pictures. The first is the common, or tall, buttercup.
I had to shade the buttercup. Due to its waxy petals it really shines in the sun making it a bit difficult to get a good picture. This next flower is the northern bush-honeysuckle.
This next flower is the nodding loosestrife. A little difficult getting a picture of one since they hang upside down. Fortunately I found one growing on a hill which helped a lot.
Finally we have the Canada hawkweed which, in spite of it’s name, is a wildflower, not a weed. They look somewhat like a dandelion but are up to 2 feet (60cm) tall.
Well, I hope you have enjoyed today’s selection of wildflowers. I also hope you enjoy your Sunday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
