Sun, Sea and Sky Watch


Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.
-Victor Hugo

Enjoying the sunshine of California
through the lens of Juan and Rachael's camera.
I love looking at the sun's rays and the sparkling diamonds of sunlight on the water.
~ Now I only need wings ~

-Albert Schweitzer:
Constant kindness can accomplish much.
As the sun makes ice melt,
kindness causes
misunderstanding,
mistrust,
and
hostility

-Proverbs 15:13

May joyful hearts and cheerful faces
surround you and warm you
with lovely sunshine

  10. Rachael captured the beauty of the moment splendidly! Now I have California on my wish list too ^_~
    A Joyful heart makes a cheerful face, beautiful words. I had to type it here so the words stick in my head for ever.
    I see several American and Canadian ladies celebrating Spring holiday, is yours about to begin too? Do you have any plans?
    We have a quite and peaceful weekend ahead, no plans just the six of us, the garden and my favorite magazine, I wish I could find the courage to start the book that has been waiting on the bookshelf for more than 3 months now.
    A big kiss to you my friend xxx

  20. Hello Maria, thank you for your comment on my post today, it is so kind of you. I wish I could send you some of the warmth from over here; it has been warm again today, although a little less sunny than in the week, however, faithful as ever, I went to the garden and enjoyed my lunch with my cat this time! A pleasure. There are a couple of clouds showing up now, but there's still a nice 18C temperature, makes me want to sing. Back to my little craft, as you could see, feeling a lot better nowadays. Thanks for your more frequent posts, and for calming my spirit every single time. Love, Lori xxx
