Clouds on Monday

I like to take photos of clouds while I travel.

These were exceptionally cool.

Swirls and twirls.

Nifty bon swifty.

My world always seems to be twirling

or swifting depending on the day.

I keep trying like the trees

to stay grounded as best I can.

Some days are not easy.

Some are hard as rock.

Lately, it's been in the middle.

One good day.

One really band one.

The next is bliss.

Just like the claps of thunder

my world gets turned over

and under and moist

all at the same time.

And, as I usually do

I shake myself off

and pick up the pieces.

So, when I see those

glorious clouds

I mark them in my

heart.

I So Wish

I went to the Ocean for my birthday.

I'm getting so old that it takes what seems

 like a whole army to get me there.

Once I did get to the shore, this is who met me.

Fog was all around but I swam

to the sounds of the shore.

There I found sandpipers and a gull.

Just looking at the wonders of the sea.

I had a marvelous time.

Could have been there forever.

Wish I could be.

Back to my normal life which isn't really normal.

Thank God for photos to remind me

 of what means the most to be.

My freedom.

The part of me that still remains.

My childhood days of running the beach.

I so wish I could be there now.

Barrel of Color

This is one of my front yard barrels. It sits at the end of my driveway or the beginning depending on how you see it. Since, I only go to this part of the driveway to water, I say that it is at the end. I think the colors came out well this year. Each time I try to get the right mixture. I always end up too busy to take care of them like I should but I think that it looks darn good considering it has me as a Mom. If barrels have Mom's ...

Monday Clouds

I loved the way these clouds spread across the bigger ones

Just a gorgeous sky

They interest me more and more these days

I look up just to see what they are doing
