“To live a spiritual life requires that we choose the values that will ground our hearts, stretch our vision, and give new energy to our hopes.”

the color of sunsets
“Art is not simply works of art; it is the spirit that knows beauty, that has music in its soul and the color of sunsets in its handkerchief, that can dance on a flaming world and make the world dance too.”
W.E.B. Du BoisThis image is not what it looks like this morning. It rained almost all day yesterday and this morning it is overcast with prediction of rain later. It is the last day of May and yet we had snow in the mountains yesterday. I imagine a few Memorial Day camping trips and picnics are not turning out as planned. Some are probably were over early yesterday. Alternate plans today call for the grill to be fired up in the backyard under an umbrella or they’re ordering pizza. This image was taken last summer at Reservoir Ridge Natural Area before the fires ignited. Hope you have a super Awesome day!

Home Run
We were in Seattle on Memorial Day and arrived early enough to attend a Mariners ball game. It’s been a few years since I attended a baseball game. In the above image, Mark Reynolds of the Baltimore Orioles is connecting on a home run in the third inning of the game. It also shows how I’m not used to the shutter lag on this camera. We left in the 7th inning and headed for Pikes Market for some people watching, shopping and seafood. 🙂 It was a great day!
I’m off to the skies today. Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend! Maybe even go to a ball game. 🙂
