This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.
-John Muir, naturalist, explorer, and writer (1838-1914)
Gorgeous. I am sitting on my back deck this morning enjoying the sunshine and this made me look up and take deeper notice of my surroundings.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I love that word "gloaming". Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteNature brings back the child in our eyes and heart....
ReplyDeleteEveryone should consider a place such as this their own spiritual Mecca, regardless of their religious beliefs.
ReplyDeleteAt least once in a lifetime we should commune with the purest expression of creation available to us - after giving birth to our children - and I believe we would feel the love and active forgiveness of our planet and do our best never to harm it.
I have read that writing before ... An amazing bit of wordsmithing there.
ReplyDeleteI love the wispy hint of spiderweb on your flower. We all have bits of detritus clinging to our beauty.
Have fun at Yosemite!

ReplyDeleteI love that quote. I'm having a great day after coming back from Cornwall yesterday. Missed your blog a lot. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Ooo, I want to hear all about Yosemite! Are you back? Have you showered?
ReplyDeleteGlorious...I love the wispy spider's web around the blossom.
ReplyDeleteOMG your son is handsome! (Not that I should be surprised.) And also? Happy Birthday!
