Mr. Sun Says Good Night On A Tuesday Evening











For some reason my client wanted me to take some pictures of the sunset this Tuesday.

"It is a while since you took any", she explained.

"Of course I will! I don't mind at all!"

And I am GLAD I did!

Before turning my camera's eye to the lake which was already on fire with the dazzling rays of the sun, I looked up the shady lane and noticed a few splashes of sunlight on the wood pile and on a few small trees.

The grass by the lake seemed to be on fire too with all the sun's brightness, so as I took one picture, I thought to myself that THIS scene deserved ANOTHER shot from a different angle.

I could not help but notice the huge trees on the lawn getting a large piece of the action, so the camera snapped again!

The shore was not as golden as usual but I thought maybe I better take a picture of that also, and as I did, I noticed one lone boat on the lake taking in the last of the sun's glory and that rascal of a sun was hiding in a tree and trying to peek in on the young couple who were enjoying their selves in the cool of the evening.

A lonely duck was taking a cool bath before he would be climbing into bed for the night, for after all it HAD been a very hot day!

Well, as the sun was finally telling us all Goodnight; the lane, the trees, the boaters, the duck and I, he quietly whispered into my ear, "Don't forget to visit the full moon tomorrow! I hear that it is going to be one spectacular sight!"

"Alas", I thought to myself, "Tomorrow is my day off! I won't be here!"

"Well Goodnight Mr. Sun", I said out loud. "We will have to leave that ONE SPECTACULAR sight for Betty to take care of!"

And I know she can be trusted to do just that!

Where Did You Get That Sylish Hat?




Last Sunday morning when I picked my mother up for Morning Meeting and Sunday School, I was prepared with camera in hand as she came out the door. My dad had told me ahead of time that she would be wearing her new hat and "She just looked really good in it!", he told me. "Please take her picture!"

Of course, I gladly obliged...

The first two pictures here were taken in the morning and I must say that my litttle mother looked just spiffy!

She was so pleased with the hat that she refused to take it off that evening as we went to Macdonald's for a coffee.. A coffee?? Not my mom!!
There she sat looking pretty as a picture, eating a butterscotch sundae!!

Oh the Queen of England should be so fortunate!
