Thankful our flagpole withstood the winds.

Peek a Boo . . .

I See You (I know, I know - trite 😊 )

I've been appreciating the glacier pebbles and chunks of sandstone the RG has relocated over the years to our yard. Both are quite abundant in our area; and they create lots of texture and diversity to our planters as they mix with the neighboring plants and shrubs.

Having a Camera . . .

even opens up the world of staying at home.

Thankful today for cameras.

Participating in an Instagram photo challenge

this month has been great fun.

Yesterday's subject was bubbles
Love how they clung to the bottle 

and appeared as eye glasses 

           I have seen great photos of bubbles
                                            but had never tried it

So many outcomes

It's a Frosty Morning . . .

in Western P A so I'm staying put . . .

but wait,

I've been 'staying put' atMuldoon;

haven't left in 4 weeks and 1 day

but who's counting

Although A Distance Apart . . .

One in Spirit

I've been feeling low this week

and as I was studying for one of our

newly formed virtual Bible groups

in the New Testament book of Philippians

I had a sense of what Paul was feeling 
while in prison and away from other believers.

Yet Paul rejoiced
Let's do the same

At Least the Backyard Birds . . .

What does April snow bring?

 Shocked to wake up to this!

Was glad to see this sky

Expected to melt soon.

Didn’t decorate for Easter this year

But after I made this fabric box yesterday

And the daffodils are blooming so beautifully,

I decided one little spot would be nice 

for the week.

Workers At Risk

Today I am thankful for

grocery workers

as they continue to serve

providing fresh fruit

and the fruit of the spirit;

as we hold them in prayer

of whom our daughter is one.

Also thankful for the shields that are

being put in place at their registers.

The Change of Season Continues . . .

despite the chaos.

One hopeful periwinkle 

popping through the dead 
and decaying matter of the winter.

Everyone take care. One day at a time.

Today I am thankful for . . .

discovery.

We call them 'phones' but

it seems everyday I discover

something more this little COMPUTER can do.

Of course it will come as no surprise

that it is the wonder of the camera

that is occupying my time.

Instagram was a main factor in my decision

to upgrade to iP11.

I have an app on both my 

laptop and phone  

to create IG posts from my 

Canon camera photos and videos

for transferring to IG

since posting has to be with a phone.

Now I have 'discovered' YouTube tutorials

for using the iP11 camera,

which takes quality photos,

 to post directly from my iP11

Here is one from yesterday

But . . .

the big discovery is 

that my bluetooth keyboard 

works with my iP11

(never thought to try it before)

The Morning Skies . . .

have been beautiful of late.

And the rains did come 

from these mackerel clouds

Mackerel sky. ... The old rhymes "Mackerel sky, not twenty-four hours dry"

A mackerel sky is a common term for a sky with rows of cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds displaying an undulating, rippling pattern similar in appearance to fish scales; this is caused by high altitude atmospheric waves. Wikipedia

Beautiful Bird . . .

not so beautiful name . . .

Title for these photos:

"God's Palette

Grackles in Silhouette "

The avian genus Quiscalus contains six of the ten species of grackle, gregarious passerine birds in the icterid family. They are native to North and South America. The genus was named and described by the French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot in 1816. Wikipedia
