Here Comes the Sun!!!

 

All sunshine and sovereign is God, generous in

gifts and glory.

Psalm 84:11 The Message 

So far this new year we've seen very few sunny days so today when the sun did  finally appear we were elated even if it was still cold (or at least for us southerners)!  Up north I’m sure the 40’s is not considered cold.   And we’ve just had so much rain that we’re starting to mildew!
 
Anyway, I’m hoping that we’ll soon see more pretty days and be able to get out more.  I can’t wait to try out my new camera that Johnny got me for Christmas.  It’s a Sony Alpha SLT/A33 and I think I’m going to like it a lot but there is a lot to learn.   I've always loved macro photography and so I've been practicing on some of the plants I've brought in from the cold.

 

 

 

 

"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow."
Helen Keller 

 

 

I hope you all have a sunny day too

even if it's only in your heart! 

Ready for Some Sunshine!!

Isn't it about time for some sunny days and warmer temperatures???  We're so spoiled here in the south with our mild winters and normally I don't complain about the cold, but after this week I think I'm ready for Spring.  We were in the 20's two or three nights this week and the days were mostly in the 40's.   And now two Sundays in a row we've had COLD and RAIN.  I'm SO ready for some SUN!!!  I can't wait to see that YELLOW ball of sun shining again!
