Sunrise over San Diego

The world is waking up once again.......and what better way to greet it, but on the shore.....

A good time for fishing.......

Bird of paradise grow here like Oleanders grow in Arizona........they are everywhere........

Something about boats looks so very restful.....

Along the beach pathway

Walking along the beach we saw this incredible house......

I wondered who lived there, wondered about their lives and how often they came here.......

Then I saw the name.......so I printed these up and framed them, and gave them to a dear friend whose last name is Bruno.

I asked her why she has never invited me to her enchanting villa.......

Gilbert Riparan Reserve

Right in the middle of Gilbert, Arizona there is a reserve

A peaceful place where ducks bathe and birds are free to flit from cactus to cactus.....they make condos out of them you know......

As evening hush fell over the park..........the cicadas hum heavy in the air,

Sundown.....can't you just imagine Moses mother just on the other side of these reeds, with her infant in the basket?

And it was morning.....

 Morning time at my workplace.....before I tuck in to my little 12 hour computer world......

Moonrise over the basketball courts.....they do allow us out to play once in a while!

Evening falls in the back patio....and I must go back in to finish my Shift......

 

Christmas at Intel....some of the palms wearing their sequins.......

Christmas, however does not stop construction at Intel......

 

My shift is over......and then there was evening.......

The end of my 12 hours for another day.....................heading home.

Fire in the sky

It was one of those unexpected moments, as I rounded the corner.........I gasped and ran for the camera

It amazes me how it changes moment by moment, every second holds a differnent shade......

a different masterpiece........scrolling across the sky, another reflection of His beauty.

I wished one more time for a chair on the rooftop.

Early View

For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself.........

For if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord: therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's!

For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.......Romans 14: 7-9

Best Buds

Syd, there she is aiming that black thing as us again.....

Ears alert for snacks coming our way....

I love my brother.....

Eleven years together, with only a scuffle every now and then....

Best buds from day one....

I am grateful for another year with these guys. They provide endless joy and entertainment and love without condition. Thank you Briggs and Sydney for the gifts you give us just by being here.

In and around Tempe, Arizona

It's almost as if he is admiring the view

I can never pass up a bookstore....
