Last days of summer

The days have started to get shorter, there is a slight chill in the evening air and more rainy days are a part of the weather forecast. Yes summer is coming to a close. We are now headed back to school, watching football, eating comfort foods, and fall activities on crisp days.

This year our summer has been filled with family visits, beach days, and exploring the local area that we are now residing in. Over all it has been a very nice summer, but I must say that I am looking forward to the fall and winter season.

Our last days of summer will end with a couple’s weekend at our home which will include a barbeque, dinner at a local restaurant and a visit to Assateague Island.

How will you spend your last days of summer? Please let me know and include your favorite summer photo(s) past and present with your story!

I look forward to hearing about your last days of summer events and seeing some of your favorite summer photos!

The Dance

August is when the sunlight begins its dance; it is a photographer’s delight. Early in the morning the dance begins and finishes in the late afternoon with its best moves. Once your eyes discover the dance you want to chase this dance where ever it shows up… flickering, moving, twisting, creating so many beautiful shapes that your eyes can’t seem to capture all of the dances.

I asked myself what it is about this August sunlight that always shows up at this time. As I pondered this thought some more, I heard myself say of course it is summers last blast, the warmth from the suns rays mixed with cool breezes begins to dance. I think that God created this dance as a beautiful transition from summer into fall. It is a subtle, gentle, passing of one season into another.

Thank you Lord for this beautiful dance…

Thank You 2008... Hello 2009!

Many people were very glad to be able to say good-by to 2008. For me it was Thank you! I am truly thankful to have lived through the entire year with all of its joys, heartaches, disappointments, happiness, sorrows, losses, gains, and many unexpected blessings along the way. I will always cherish the memories that only 2008 could give me. I am excited knowing that new memories are on the horizon in 2009. You see there is no such thing as a good year or a bad year… there is living life and no matter what you do or where you live or how much money you make or don’t make you are not insulated from experiencing many of the same things that took place the year before. Those experiences may be a lot less and not as intense this year then they were last year. And for some people that alone will cause them to conclude at the end of 2009 whether or not it was a “good” year or a “bad” year.

In life there will always be a time when you will experience joy, heartache, disappointment, happiness, sorrow, loss, gains and many unexpected blessings along the way. It is good to set goals, so go ahead and set some! And what ever you do don’t make any New Year resolutions…let’s be realistic and just live life!

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 3-8)

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to heal, a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
