We've had some wierd weather lately. Today, it's s'pose to get back up into the mid to upper 80's, then tomorrow cool again, then back up higher. Enough to make everyone sick. Speakin of which - I need to go find a place that's giving flu shots. I went twice yesterday to the chain pharmacies here and they were either already out or did not get any flu vaccine. I need to let my fingers do the walking today.
After our last big rains we had a couple of weeks ago, we had a double rainbow in the skies. It took me 2 photos to get it all. Out at Sand Flat Farm with the open pastures, you could see the beginnings on either end of it. Look closely and see if you can see both of the rainbows...![]()
Ok, here's the right side -
It WAS beautiful in person. You can barely make out in the photo the double rainbow especially on the left side. Ok, here's a Halloween photo for you...
This was the last full moon we had - sorta creepy huh? I love it. I love to be out at the farm on moonlit nights. The landscape and pasture are all lit up, you don't need any flashlights to take a stroll around the farm after your eyes get used to the dark. Very romantic, too, for my sweetie and me. We like to stroll and visit and talk and go over our day and the kids and the parents, etc., and sometimes we like to just be quiet and soak up the moonlight. It's almost like I can't open my eyes wide enough to take it all in!
Here's an interesting shot - or it was to me - I thought I was very lucky to have my camera in hand at the time. The sun had gone down behind the trees in the west, all was in shadow, but there was a single ray of sunshine that was bouncing off this pumpjack. Now that old pumpjack across the road from us is almost black - really dark old green color. But just look how that sunray makes it look like pure GOLD. It made me think about how our lives can be stained black with sin but when the grace and love and forgiveness of God & His SON shines down upon us, we are cleansed and become purer than GOLD!
I pulled over to the side of the road in town a few nights ago after heavy rains. I had to get this shot off, even with the ugly traffic. It's unexplainable to me how bright the light of our Lord is. I can only compare it to the light of the sun. You can't tell from the photo, but just this little bit of sun peeking through the clouds was so bright I couldn't look right at it. I just turned my camera that way and shot the picture. There were colors in the sky that no artist's brush could match. Sometimes when I see something like this, it makes me want to just cry with its beauty.
Here's another shot a few minutes later. I was transfixed for about 10 minutes there, taking pictures out my car window and traffic zooming by. Don't care if anyone watched or not - had to get these shots to share with all of you my dear friends! Have a wonderful blessed day!
