The Old Tree by Lauralynn My poem

There is a beautiful poem that goes along with this photo from a friend of mine who is like my sister:
Tired I am, Tired I may be, But there's many
more years, I hope to see. So talk to me
when you walk by me, I don't want to be an
old forgotten tree. I hear your voice and see
your love, When you put the seed there, for
the friendly dove. The birds are safe among
my limb, They build their homes in leaves
within. I have a reason to live on you see.
There's a reason why God created me. I'm
here for you to keep you cool, In the hottest
days above your pool. I care for you, I love
you too. So keep us safe there are so few.
We want to live, we want to be, Because
thats why God created me.

The Evenstar (LOTR)

I always loved this scene in "Lord of the Rings". Perfect fairytale
scene and both actors just wonderful! Viggo Mortensen is so
talented. Wish he were in more movies. He must be doing stage plays or directing now. I haven't seen him in any movies
lately!

Does anybody remember these? My mother had a green one. I don't recall her having the other colors. Maybe my grandmother gave
it to her as a wedding gift or someone did! Or maybe she just bought
one! I'd like to get a collection of these! They are great for everything
even baking in! Unfortunately my green bowl which I treasured so
much got broken. Oh well, nothing lasts forever! I may be able to
find some at a flea market!

Does this photo remind you of a movie star? This man claims that
he never was a movie star, but he sure looks handsome enough to have been one! This was him when he was 34 years old, which was
awhile back maybe in the 1960s? Interesting!

One thing I really miss about my native Georgia is the wonderful fragrant
vine honeysuckle! There is honeysuckle up here, the bush variety, but I've never noticed a really strong wonderful fragrance to it like the vine honeysuckle! That and the fragrance of Gardenias! I wish I could have a way of someone shipping them up to me in full bloom! I miss the fragrance so bad!

Galaxies... "Fantasy Passages" by John Serrie

Beautiful Spring Day!!

April 24, Friday, 2009- Today was beautiful! Highs in the upper 60s nearly 70 degrees, wall to wall sunshine and birds and flowers everywhere! Ahh it was soo nice! My daffodils are blooming! I took a few closeup shots of them. Tried to get some of the birds coming to the feeder
but I think I'll try tomorrow. They were just so fast and I didn't quite have the patience! At the
neighbors pond I saw a kingfisher, a male Mallard duck, two Canadian geese and near the cattails, red-winged blackbirds! I will have to make a movie of that scene! Describing it is one
thing but being able to show it to everybody is another! I will see if my neighbors wouldn't mind
me getting a little closer to the pond. I hope I don't scare the birds off! Tonight, the spring peepers are singing their heads off! lol Tomorrow (Saturday) is supposed to be even warmer!

I did this painting after watching "Apollo 13". What a fantastic movie
and a true story. I remember when they safely came back. My friend
and I had rushed home from high school to see them safely splash down in the ocean. We weren't sure if they were going to make it. No one knew. What an amazing story of the determination of the human spirit!

he's laying on the bedspread, since it's dark, I've almost sat on him!
LOL! Poor cat! He must think we are so mean!
