    Palaminio ... that picture says so much ... freedom, the wind in your hair (mane), secure in the knowledge that you can go anywhere you want under your own power.  There is just something so majestic about horses.  Its funny that before reading your message at the bottom of the picture the first thought I had was freedom.

    Deborye ... is that some sort of lighthouse?  Its pretty cool!

    Jackie ... while I do love the beach, I hate the crowds.  I'd rather go in fall when there aren't many people.and to a beach that has not been commercialized.   And what a beautiful fall picture.  I would be right in the middle of that bridge watching the water flow.

    Spar - how cool is that - the Daniel Fast.  Our church has always had one Sunday a month where you eat only dinner so you know what it feels like to be hungry and then donate what you would have spent on those two meals and donate to charity.  Its called fast and testimony meeting.  In addition to the fasting, members can stand and give their testimony.  It can be very emotional but it feels so good to share your love of God and thank Him for all his blessings in our lives.

    Here's to more happy dreaming

    Sheila, thanks for posting those bluebells, they made me smile this morning

    Nicki, the horse on the beach is just wonderful, such freedom.

    Kathleen, that sounds pretty cool the things your church does too.

    Alyson, I like the beaches off season too, you can find so much more goodies then like sea glass that I love.  Hope your knee gets better fast.  I have been using a warm pack on my knee where I twisted it and it has helped a lot.  This bronchitis has got me down and the antibiotics has upset my tummy. Am going to lay down for a bit and then post some more places.  Everyone have a God blessed day.

    What a relaxing place to visit!  Love the pics of flowers and the horse on the beach is awesome.  Jackie's post on the ocean was like a poem.  Contented sigh.....

    Deb, those harebells are beautiful too.  So ready for spring.  My puppies have been going out on the deck today and eating the snow.  they are so funny and make me smile all the time.  they will take off running and then slide in the snow.  they will be shiviring and still don't want to come in.

    Ready for some sunflowers.  We ought to all plant some and compare our pictures of them this summer.

    I have some orange tiger lily's in my garden also.  There is a lady here in town that has fairy garden parties, not sure exactly what that is but sounds interesting.  Do any of you know what it is?

    Spar ... all the photos you posted are gorgeous!

    Isn't life grand!  There is so much beauty in the world.  I know I forget sometimes with all the bad things happening in the world that there is much beauty and kindness too.

    Jo,

    I did watch that...twice.  It was totally awesome.  Our Creator did give us such a beautiful and very interesting world to help us on through our eternal journey.  I really commend those photographers for having not only the patience but the courage to put themselves in so many of what seemed to me dangerous venues to get those pictures.  As well, I so enjoyed getting to know some of those smaller species that exist. 

    God is a great designer.  I'm already anxious to see the next segment.

    Hello to all the mountaineers, love the kitty in the cup.  Still not feeling up to par but better a bit each day.  One time when I went to visit my son it was when all the cherry blossoms were in DC and it was so beautiful.  Going to see if I can find some pictures to post of them.

    I, too, watched the "Life' program.  I was astounded to know the risks the photographers must have taken to photo everything.  And to think of all the research that has made up the program.  Something like that takes a long time to study each animal and learn the habits, etc.  Wish I could be as patient about my health!!!!   God is really in the message of that program.

    Susan, good to see you again.  Aren't those cherry blossoms beautiful.  We do get treated to a lot of "beauty" here.  I think ( Oprah Winfrey was the narrator for that program by the way ) that before it started something was said about it's taking three years just to put the "Life" program together. 

    It is sunny here in  southern Illinois today and I am sure glad.  Will get to the 60's it is said.  That is ok with me too.  I'm ready for Spring. 
    Totally.

    Hugs, Jackie

    Oh my -- another beauty that just looks so kissable. Hope you are all going to have a really fantastic day today.  I should if all goes as planned.  The plan is:  I have no plan.  I go where life leads me fitting in my feral cat feedding and other items.....And life goes on as it is meant too.

    See you all later.  Must go find some more cute kitty pics.

    Hugs, Jackie

    Gosh, that's a lot of kittens!  Surely more than a litter?  There's nothing cuter than a kitten or a puppy.

    Palamino ... that is a beautiful picture with my favorite color!

    Deborye ... Contratulations!!  That's awesome.

    Spar ... gorgeous pics.  Puts me in mind of a cherry blossom story.  One day a new co-worker asked me what date the Cherry Blossoms Parade was scheduled because some friends of his wanted to come see the cherry blossoms.  I replied ... that's two different events!  If he wants to see the parade he can plan a trip.  If he wants to see the cherry blossoms he'll have to be on 'call.'
