Quote ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Butterfly
Love Is
To sing is to love and affirm,
to fly and to soar,
to coast into the hearts of the people
who listen
to tell them that life is to live,
that love is there,
that nothing is a promise,
but that beauty exists,
and must be hunted for and found.
-Joan Baez (Daybreak 1968)

Experience
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. -Albert Einstein
Winter
He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter…. In winter the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. -John Burroughs, “The Snow-Walkers,” 1866

It was a beautiful morning, and it would be nice if it stayed this way.
No Name Park
I’ve been living in this part of the city for five years, and have no idea what the name of the park is. I have asked people who have lived here a lot longer than me, and they don’t know what the name is, or if it ever had a name. The park is so small, that a person can do a complete walk around it in a minute, two at the most. 
What Matters
A Zen Sky
Peaceful Zen summer sky.
The atmosphere at its best.
It makes people happy.
Time of photo: 5:48 PM.
Big Foot In The Sky
The cloud has the look of a big foot. There was numerous thunderheads and had the look of bad storms, but nothing really happened.
Cloud Eating The Sun
The cloud gobbled up the sun.
Bye bye.
May another sun take your place.
If not, it was nice knowing you.
Sunset
Photo was taken at 8:30 PM. Love the colors of the clouds.

Happy Birds
It’s early Saturday evening, and in an hour, the sun will be setting at 8:24 PM. Have the windows open, the baseball game is on the TV, and the best part is, the numerous birds all happy and chipper as they are tweeting away in one massive chorus. Sitting here listening to the birds, they are saying that there is still a lot to like about the earth, that we all call home. With a touch of Zen, life is grand.

The side walk is covered with a layer of snow. This was taken this morning (2/19/14). We got more snow in the afternoon, before it changed to a light mist of rain.

Cemetery on the NH – Mass Border
Before entering the supermarket, I took a couple of photos. The first one, is a photo of a cemetery in New Hampshire, which is right near the Mass border on the left side of the photo.
The photo below is left of the one above.
Snow Covered Park
On my daily walk this morning, I decided to cut through the local park, as the walking was kind of on the treacherous side. Lots of icy spots. I only took this one photo, and it does have a Zen look to it.

Took this photo, using the B&W mode. Hint: I do love black & white.
Lonely Intersection

From my email inbox:
So you think you’re having a bad day…
then you step outside of your house…
and look up into the beautiful blue sky…
…and see this!!!!!
All of a sudden, that smile comes back to your face and you say to yourself
”Now that’s a big ass balloon!!!”
…and
things don’t seem quite so bad!HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE WEEK!
Rain Drops On Leaves
More Red Foliage
With an overcast sky and a light rain falling, the color on the trees seem to be duller, than when the sun is shining, and brings out the brightness of the red leaves.
