Shutterday- Light!

"Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue." ~ Buddha ===================

Shutter Day #199 - Light-

Genesis 1:14-15 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. ========================= Tonight Clyde decided to raise a ruckus and run off while I was out in the field with the other dogs... I looked up and saw this sight.. spooky almost.. that's the moon above my old.. old ... old... oak tree.. I love my old trees.. I have been trying to make a good "light" picture... I decided to let those all wait till later and use this one moment of time for my "light".. Now I need to look for Clyde.. Thanks for sharing a brief second of my world tonight.. make luck and love walk with you!! Have a great night.. Patsy

Shutterday- The First of 2011...

"To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him." ~ Buddha * * * * * * * * * * Shutterday- - Just look at that sky!... the weatherman says snow tonight and tomorrow.. he must have looked out and seen this sky!.. Thanks for stopping by! I welcome comments and followers... Have a wonderful day! Patsy

Time..

"And when is there time to remember, to sift, to weigh, to estimate, to total?" ~ Tillie Olsen "Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life." ~ William Faulkner "Day, n. A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent." ~ Ambrose Bierce <><><><><><><><><><>

Post # Two for Tuesday! Something New..

"Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man." ~ Edward Steichen ============================ Something Brand New!.. New to me at least! Some of you Photographers who visit here might like to check them out too.. Shutter Day- Theme 182: From The Hip... ~ Emily walks away after demanding that I put away the camera.. HA! I got her anyway!... ~This Photo Challenge meme is brand new to me.. each week they give us a new and exciting challenge.. this one was From the Hip.. you were supposed to make a photo from a low vantage point without looking at the view finder.. I do that all the time.. Emily says she just knows someone will kill me for taking their picture some day.. she says I am a danger to take shopping or even to the doctors office.. I usually just point and shoot and might have a half gazillion photos before we head home.. truthfully I have to delete most of them that are one foot or a ugly tree stump.. But every so often I get a good one like this one from last week.. Emily fusses if she catches me.. as soon as I tell her I want to drive the cart and toss my bag into the seat part.. she knows what I am up too.. I also make photos brazenly in grocery stores and restaurants.. Most of the time the people there think I am a mystery shopper and give me wonderful service.. What can I say.. I might need a photo of a hamburger or a head of lettuce.... and if someone goes out in public dressed like they do.. well.. at least I am kind enough not to show faces.. You never know when I might need a photo of a sandal foot with holey toe socks.. or green hair with a black polka dot bow.. and I'll have them if I see them.. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day Patsy
