A walk in the redwoods

So busy looking at rocks....

That I almost missed these surfers walking by

another lovely day at the beach !

I hope everyone has a wonderful week celebrating life,
So much to be thankful for every day !!

Autumn gold

............ I was just minding my own business
when I found myself on their straw hillsides,
citron and butter-colored,

and was happy, and why not?
Are not the difficult labors of our lives
full of dark hours?
And what has consciousness come to anyway, so far,

that is better than these light-filled bodies?
All day
on their airy backbones
they toss in the wind,

they bend as though it was natural and godly to bend,
they rise in a stiff sweetness,
in the pure peace of giving
one's gold away.

A drive on the back roads

The fall colors of the vineyard leaves were gorgeous yesterday with the blue grey clouds in the distance.

Coral Tree

another tropical beauty of the Coral Tree

I also just listed 2012 calendars in my shop
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend !!
