Waiting For Another Hockey Game

4 Replies

I have been coming to Trinity Pawling to watch  my children play hockey for eight years now. Waiting for my daughters game to start, I had a little extra time today and since it was a sunny 60 degrees (very odd for mid February!), I decided to walk around and take some pictures. I certainly hope that you enjoy them.

An Old Church in Simsbury, CT

An old church in Simsbury, CT. The origins of this church go back to 1697! In my mind I can see it in the middle of nowhere but instead it is surrounded by modern technology. Power lines, traffic lights and of course cars surround this beautiful building.

Another Sunrise

4 Replies

As you know, I love a good sunrise! So even though I have posted sunrises before, I couldn’t resist taking these pictures this morning on my way to pick up some bagels for breakfast. Of course I left my camera at home so I had to take these with my cell phone.

“This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.”

-John Muir

“Rest but never quit. Even the sun has a sinking spell each evening. But it always rises the next morning. At sunrise, every soul is born again.”

-Muhammad Ali

Blue Skies

“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.”

-Elenora Duse
“I never get tired of the blue sky.”
-Vincent Van Gogh

Don’t ask me why, but I love the way that bare trees look against the backdrop of a clear blue sky.

Expectation

Expectation seen,

The future is open and

Reality has

Put its thunderous foot down,

Marking the false impression

And false promise of

What might be, intended for

Consumption by the

Veiled eyes of tomorrow,

Peeling away the sorrow

Expectation
