The Sun goes down, the Sun comes up

Sometimes when the world of humanity seems to be in the most frantic and crazy disarray, the simple turning of the Earth in the Universe can be a comforting phenomenon to embrace.

Not exactly sun rise, but sun rising

To help with gazing at things that turn turn turn to every season, I got this from an email sent by Bill Kunke, who is always sending along Nature's wonders that he observes. This one is good for the whole summer! Thanks, Bill. I think I'll be putting in a lot of roof time on the houseboat. A total solar eclipse in August, viewable from the US? Mark your calendars!

You'll find the whole explanation right here!

To not lose hope is a good thing. And I think one of the most beautiful examples of that was expressed by the family of the Canadian woman who died in the London attack. I think I'd be crumpled speechless on the floor; my admiration is tremendous. 

“She had room in her heart for everyone and believed strongly that every person was to be valued and respected,” said the family in a statement issued by spokesman Patrick Audet and distributed by Global Affairs Canada. 

Archibald had worked at a homeless shelter before moving to Europe, and her family asked people to honour her memory by giving back to their communities.

“She would have had no understanding of the callous cruelty that caused her death,” said the statement. “Please honour her by making your community a better place. Volunteer your time and labour or donate to a homeless shelter. Tell them Chrissy sent you.”

Have a find the magic in Monday. Do something with meaning. Tell them Chrissy sent you.

Hidden not secret

Respite from the blazing sun

Cool invitation

Almost back!

Oh happy day!! After having my brother go through many, many dance steps to get my computer fixed in the States, it's back and working well! With the new phone and a hotspot, I'm still slow but I CAN post again!

And when the new camera gets here next week (thanks, Sarah!!!!) - because yes, the old one died and was stupid expensive to fix; the tropics are hard on electronics, yes indeed - it will be, like my bro says, a country western song in reverse. I'm so looking forward to playing with my favorite toys again and sharing what happens with you, my patient readers! 

In the meantime, I've taken a bunch of phone photos, some of which may or may not show up here eventually, but almost every day is still filled with beauty to be found, despite the sometimes overwhelmingly exasperating events of the world. I think it makes it even more important to find the beauty and work with passion to keep it, no matter how small the effort might appear. We're all we've got!

Into every life...

Have a scandal free Saturday! Do something supercalifragilisticexpealidocious!
