"Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful." ~Norman Vincent Peale
The photos have nothing to do with Christmas other than being taken during the season. The quote is one I found and I liked. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!!
Is that a mockingbird, Cindy?
ReplyDeleteHe looks extremely happy!!
Love the pine cone nestled in the pine straw. I refuse to rake mine because it's so pretty on the ground right now. The colors are great.
Love your photos...always.
We've had rain here today...and more expected tonight, but we had a lovely Christmas in spite of the raindrops.
Merry Christmas, sweet friend.
Hugs,
Jackie
It is a Mockingbird and I love all the straw, leaves and pinecones on the ground too. No rain here today but some expected tomorrow. Our day was ok. No one really in the mood but I think we all did better than I thought we would. I'm glad you had a lovely Christmas. Enjoy the rest of the week and have a safe and wonderful New Year.
DeleteMerry Christmas Jackie,
Love,
Cindy
I have never seen a Mockingbird, he looks so pretty sitting there in the trees, and I love that pine cone shot! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and the new year brings you much joy and happiness.
ReplyDeleteJudy we have more Mockingbirds here than any other place I know of. It's the Florida state bird. It has a sweet song and gets its name because it mimics other birds. I love Pinecones and if I didn't think people would get tired of them I'd be posting them frequently. I hope you had a Merry Christmas. Please have a safe and Happy New Year.
DeleteThey are gorgeous photos and make me smile! That's always a good thing at Christmas. Nice to hear from you and I hope all is well. Still in school?
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to you for a wonderful, prosperous, healthy and very Happy New Year!
Thank you Lowell. I'm glad they made you smile. All is well and yes I am still in school. Still unemployed however. Hopefully something will come along with the new year. I hope you had a Merry Christmas. Have a wonderful and safe new year.
DeleteHow beautiful. I love the blue color on those leaves and the mockingbird looks so peaceful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa. The blue was a surprise to me. I think it's just the way the light was reflected off of the velvet like leaves. The bird just sat there and I clicked away. Wish I could have gotten a little closer though. Happy New Year!!!
DeleteI think I hear a bird singing "Happy New Year" to you! May 2013 bring you numerous employment opportunities!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lowell very much. Happy New Year to you. Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2013.
DeleteI really love your photos Cindy. I wish I could take such pretty pictures! I've been gone for quite awhile and the holidays are over But I wanted to let you know that I still enjoyed your photos and quote. Happy 2013! Love Di ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you Di! Happy to see you back. Happy New Year and have a great 2013!!!!!
