Happy Friday to my friends!

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.
~ Frank Lloyd Wright ~

It grows in silence

“See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence;
see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...
we need silence to be able to touch souls.”

~ Mother Teresa ~

Hi my friends,

thank you for all the comments from yesterday!

It's not the best weather today either - no camera weather for me...LOL.... That means, I have to show you some archive photos and I hope not to bore you.... This one is a wild flower from the Cherokee region in North Carolina, isn't she pretty?

Stay tuned with me and see you tomorrow again!

A Full Moon Night in Paradise

It was a wonderful full moon night in paradise!

Moon...Moon...Moon...Come to me
Release me...make me free
Absorb me in your luminesence
Sparkling pathway of your fluorosence
Dancing in the sky
Lovers looking at you sigh
Oceans leap and surge
Stars whirl and merge

Birthday Guests in my Yard

These two guys were first to wake me up this morning - much too early -
to give me a birthday wish.

And he was wearing his best bow tie - extra dressing for my birthday , I guess.

And she showed me her wonderful new make up - more extras for me.....

And she started to sing me a birthday song: quack, quack, quack..... and then she left!

As you can see I had a lovely group together already this morning that came to congratulate me for my 58th birthday. I am a lucky girl today! :-))

Official Start of Hurrican Season was 1. of June

That was yesterday! We had a dark, windy and rainy start of Hurrican Season 2007. Later in the day the weather man was announcing this all as tropical storm "Barry". Today the sun is back again in paradise - and every one is happy - of course.

And this is a old picture I made a half hour befor Hurrican Dennies came over Key West, in 2005. You can see how some people really enjoyed the waves at Whitehead Pier - it's like getting a free shower.

Purple Sunset

After a big rainfall the sky looks sometimes like this when the sun is setting down.

In Love and Memory to my Mother

Close your eyes and wish for the one thing

Close your eyes and wish for the one thing

You cannot do without, and when you do,

Near your heart you'll find it, always there,

Treasure that is dear but not so rare,

Held in the mesh that all your dreams flow through.

In truth, no gift more happiness can bring,

And so this day I give my love to you.

A cute little frog

Little Froggy

See the little froggy

Swimming in the pool

The water’s great- It’s nice and cool

When he gets all cleaned up

Out he’ll hop

Squeaky clean

From bottom to top.

***

See the little froggy

On the lily pad

Trying to catch flies

She’s getting sad.

***

When she catches one,

She’ll gobble it up

Back in the water

She’ll go kerplop!

Green Simphony

And this picture is the opposite from my yesterday's post. I like to do experiments with light and shade, with shapes and colors.

Diese Aufnahme ist die umgekehrte Version von meinem gestrigen Bild in Schwarz-Weiss. Ich mag das Herumexperimentieren mit Licht und Schatten, mit Formen und Farben.

Chicken Mamma

Searching food and feeding 10 babies is a hard daily work...

Zehn kleine Kuecken zu fuettern und gross zu ziehen ist eine enorme Verantwortung...

To show them all the important things in life, like how to hide and to escape is chicken Mamma's work also...

...ebenso alle Gefahren aufzuzeigen die auf sie lauern, sie zu lehren, wie man diese umgehen kann, ist auch Chicken Mamma's Aufgabe....

And how to get to the other site of the street? Stay all together...and run!

Und... wie ueberquert man eine Strasse richtig ? Schoen zusammen bleiben, keinen Schritt zu weit nach Links oder Rechts - und rennt los!.... so ist's richtig.

Comm'on Baby....you can do it...!

Wer ist denn da so langsam heute...?

YEAH......... WE MADE IT ALL!

WIR HABEN'S ALLE GESCHAFFT....!

A Rainy Day in Paradise

This is how it looks today in paradise. We have rain, strong wind and thunderstorms just now. Hoping strongly tomorrow we will have the sunshine back again!

So sieht es momentan gerade aus im "Paradies": es regnet Bindfaeden, begleitet mit starkem Gewitter. Optimistisch hoffen wir, morgen den warmen Sonnenschein wieder zu spueren.

Strong Conflicts...!

The roots of a tree are grown in to a wall. Who will win this fight? It seems to be nature is still stronger in the end.

Kraeftemessen zwischen Natur (Baumwurzeln) und einer Steinmauer. Schlussendlich aber gewinnt immer "Mutter Natur" den Kampf, was immer es auch ist.
