Silent Night

Pale Moon

Pale moon light
Lantern of the night
A guardian of the heavens
God's beauty in sight
Pale moon light

Loves golden glow

Like a sweet child's dream

Deep as an ocean's flow
Pale moon light

Silent and wise

Great golden goddess

A ruler of night skies
Pale moon light

His light upon this earth

God bless us all

Family, home and hearth

The full moon last night was 17,000 miles closer to Earth.
I was lucky enough to capture the event early this morning.
Big, bold, bright and full she was a very beautiful gem in the sky.

Summer Kiss

Shyly blooming; gentle light

Life of mystery and delight

Summer night's dewey kiss

Brings a blush of utter bliss

Rising moon full and bright

As evening passes into night

Twilight

Evening passes silently into dusk as

shades of twilight fade

Lonesome Waters

Even as the sun was shining

there was no warmth.

In those dark 

and lonesome waters.

Thy Heavenly breath 

shook the water and 

awoke from its depth...

A whisper. A longing to believe. 

A longing to trust.

Even as the sun was shining

there was no warmth.

Scootin'

Our new scooters make it a very fun and cool experience to take off and hit all the back roads, highways, and byways of Kentucky.

Autumn in Kentucky

Autumn's road is laid in gold,
Orange burnt is brilliant and bold.
Like scarlett flames they light up the sky,

Then falling to the Earth in a hushed, heavy sigh.
Crisp and clear the air settles in,
Long, sunny days come to an end.
Heaven's reward for all to behold,
Magenta, orange and beautiful gold.

The crisp cool weather had arrived just in time to paint the trees with delicious golden, bronze, amber, peach and maroon hues.
Mother Nature rewarded us with a week of warm seventy-five degree days.
The warm weather was opportunity to get out and enjoy the autumn scenery.

Luscious, golden and warm... these days were a gift from Heaven above.

Splendor in the trees.

Autumn in this area is spectacular.

Rode out to the country one weekday afternoon. Riding scooters on the back roads of Kentucky is relaxing and pleasant on warm, Indian Summer afternoons.

Happy Halloween

Mountain Path

The colors are nearing peak in Eastern Kentucky this Autumn. This image from the top of Pine Mountain is a good example. The small brush and trees were putting on an early show.
As I gaze at this path and the colorful scenery, it gives me a real sense of cool sunny days and crisp clear nights. The air was so fresh and clean.
It was a special treat to spend some time among such beautiful surroundings.

Harvest Moon

The full moon rising tonight was an awesome sight. I always welcome Autumn and the changing of the seasons. After being under the spell of Madame Moon... no telling what can happen.

Pine Mountain

I fell in love with this small slice of heaven and now am yearning to return.

This is the view from the top of Pine Mountain, early in the morning.

Your welcome to enjoy the view as well.

Mystic Rose

This is one of my favorites.

Along with photography I enjoy creating photographic art, I am always trying out different enhancements or total reconstruction of photos. The images I post on this blog are not enhanced unless otherwise stated.

Lights Out Louisville

The last week has been an unpleasant one with the recent wind damage due to Hurricane Ikes rampage through our community. I will remember this time as one of learning to deal with frustrations and difficult situations. In the end, we all will come through and become a stronger community, as well as stronger families, as a result.

Louisville Lights

Photography

Taking pictures is one of my favorite hobbies and I plan on posting photos as well as stories, or maybe to go along with stories. I hope to learn as I go and I will include any information that I find useful, funny or interesting. Nature and Fauna are my passion, but I've been known to take a picture of just about any subject.:O)

One of my other passions is Kentucky. I am "in love" with her beauty.

I invite you to follow my journey...
