Infinite diamonds spread across a black velvet galaxy– Sparkling, twinkling, glittering jewels in creation’s exhibition.
Shooting stars streak across the Big Dipper in an unexpected meteor shower over the moonless endless sky and vast blue Pacific Ocean.
Feeling small and finite and insignificant in the infinite vastness of breathtaking beauty. Knowing the one who flung those stars into place has me written on the palm of his hand and holds me close to his heart.

Beach Day
Beach chairs — bright blue and green — pondering place
Beach towels — bright blue and yellow stripes– afternoon nap
Beach toys — bright red and green and yellow — sand castle tools and flying kites.
Beach people — in stripes and bright clothes and flip flops — blowing in the wind
Beach birds — gulls with bright red dot on bright yellow beaks and dark puffins dotting the horizon — watching and soaring
Beach breeze — invisible — blows towels, toys, and people, and birds
Beach day — blue waves topped with bright white foam — bringing treasures up from the sea.

Painted Evening
Nature’s paintbrush strokes the evening with wispy watercolored hues of pink and purple.
Lichen and moss textured maple trunks rise above the path pouring a shady green umbrella over a warm evening stroll.
Inky black bats snatch up insects as they rise and fall over the pond reflecting deep blue dusk skies. 
Birds and Bees
Morning
Sapphire dragon flies join the dance of the hummingbirds quickly turning and twirling and kissing the flowers.
Intoxicating sweet lavender and crocosmia nectar on their tongues allows an uninhibited show of delightful flight.
Hovering overhead in a call for attention to their impassioned dance through the trees and flowers and into the clear blue abyss of morning.
Evening
Frenetic honeybees race from bud to bud as half moon rises high in the endless summer sky.
Streaks of golden sunset clouds run parallel with the horizon.
The heat of July’s farewell tribute subsides into a still coolness providing relief from the coming heatwave of August.
The hummingbirds put on their final act of the day scolding one another for taking center stage as one then two then three chase each other into the end of another beautiful day.
Breathtaking Majesty
Pristine mountaintops covered in brightest white reflecting perfectly in a deep blue lake.
Emerald and jade forests surrounding crystal clear veins of glacial waterfalls. Hovering bees and tiny birds enjoy the view over the maze of trails.
A dusty road leads to a high precipice. Still deep pure glacier water hesitates slightly, pausing before becoming torrential rushing waters crashing far below on its constant pull toward the sea.
Golden Halo
Glowing golden halo highlights a perfect crescent moon hovering above sparkling Venus. Barely visible wisps of cloud streak lightly across the twilight sky. Still, cool, lightly breezy last breath of another summer day.
Hummingbird Waltz
Hummingbirds waltz in a dizzying series of whirls and twirls — up and over and down and around the pair stays in perfect synchrony. Apart they glide then hover then back together for another frantic dance.
Red breasted robin marches and hesitates across the dried grass. Watching, waiting, filling her beak with breakfast then chirping her praise.
Rising sun casts long shadows highlighting tree tops and moss and rooftops with early rays. A perfect cerulean sky covering the new day. Still, cool air and heavy moistness of morning dew coats the earth in refreshment. A new day.
Harbor Gulls
A flotilla of Canada geese ride the tide like buoys buffeted by wind and wave. They reach a waterfall of hose water with Seagulls screaming over the heads of fishermen cleaning the dock. One gull walks along the rail of a stairway while another is chased by the heckle of The ever bossy Crow. The rest toggle for position on a warehouse roof constantly on the move lifting and soaring and landing over and over hoping the fishing men can spare a morsel of the daily catch. They cry out in celebration, anticipation, and watchful investigation of what they might find to taunt the others. A rainbow forms over a gull pelted with hose water from the fisherman as the sunlight creates a colorful array. Sailboats speedboats ships and yachts create a spay of waves pushing the geese into safe harbor.
Morning Calls
Creation breathes life into a new morning with gentle breezes. Tree tops sway lifting arms of praise stretching toward the sky.
A flock of ducks form various shapes in their synchronized flight toward a new day of ever changing scenes. High above the ground they fly in formation performing their perfected routine.
Hummingbird announces his arrival at the feeder as he begins his rituals of flight and feeding.
Lone crow steaks across the sky calling all things to order in his loud cackle –
Morning calls another day with pink stretching into blue. An array of random clouds shaped and textured highlight the pale blue sky.
Lovers in Watercolor
Fingernail moon tinged in pink hangs high over the bay and bids the setting sun farewell. Heavy breezes lift and release splashing waves. Watercolor strokes paint billowing sails on a backdrop of blue hued islands etched into the horizon.
Two gulls tango over deep slate colored tides rolling into the harbor. A red sailboat with crisp white sails turns back toward open water for one last roll in the waves.
Rose scented breezes blow over the park bench where two lovers lean shoulder to shoulder speaking softly of bittersweet things — past, present, future.
A thousand times they have graced this spot to ponder, to plan, to work it out, to sit silently watching that ever present and familiar view but never growing weary of its sameness. Never growing weary of each other.
Content to love and be loved. Comfortable in the silence or the sounds. Holding hands and reminiscing. Thankful to live in such beauty and their precious peaceful glorious life.
