This is another version of a scene that I loved gazing at this summer. It was that time in the evening when there is still light at the horizon and bats and barred owls flutter and glide overhead.  It felt like an autumn evening, maybe one close to Halloween when, “from the world of spirits there descends a bridge of light, connecting it with this, o'er whose unsteady floor, that sways and bends, wander our thoughts above the dark abyss” (Excerpt from “Haunted Houses” -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1807 – 1882).

Happy Halloween!

            It was that time of night when the light begins to fade and the birds seem to be calling good night. Before the sun slipped away completely, it set this meadow ablaze with light and it was only then that I noticed this small house tucked into the trees,….. with an absolutely perfect view of everything.

           Happy Weekend!

             I happen to love the poem “She Walks in Beauty” so with apologies to its long dead author, Lord Byron I borrowed a phrase from it to use as my title. Every time I read this poem I can see vivid images in my mind.  I think my favorite line is the first: “She walks in beauty, like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies…..”         

            While cloudless climes might be nice, this sky was filled with beautiful clouds catching the light of the sun as it faded from view. I can hear the sea gulls crying good night with the sound of the wind rolling across the water. Ahhh, peaceful.
