end of day clouds

end of day clouds

Serving up a little Midwestern sunset sky for your enjoyment.

there is no why

cool sunset

Another take on the beautiful sunset from last week. I am sure there is a psychological, spiritual, and emotional explanation for why I love sunsets so much……. or why I love the shore….. but it really doesn’t matter…. I just love them….

a better yesterday

minooka sunset

yesterday is here again

let the confessions begin

i should have called

i should have smiled

moments void of love

Lord-  …please forgive me

at last the light fades

and the stars accompany my reflections

tomorrow will you sing for me

tomorrow i will make you

a better

yesterday

 

 

golden end

Can’t think of a better way to end a day…..

Another shot taken just behind where we live. This is pretty much our landscape: cornfields, and soy bean fields…. but it sure can be beautiful…

the end

This is just a 2 minute walk from my house. Our subdivision is on the edge of, well… let’s put it this way: on a clear day I can see Iowa, and on a really clear day I can see Los Angeles! 🙂  It has taken me some time to enjoy the Mid-West geography, but, an end to the day like this makes it a bit easier.

 

stillness and light

at days end

stillness and light
here we are again
such a long day
are you holding all the moments
that so quickly passed me by
 
stillness and light
time has taken my love
my shame
my ruin
and laughter
and made memories of them all
 
stillness and light
i would ask you
to politely return them all
but i know you won’t
but it’s okay
 
stillness and light
don’t go
linger just a while
i love this moment
and hate to see it end
but moments are ending all the time
 
stillness and light
it’s your beauty
speaking to my soul
untold wonder
truth
and that nagging sense of eternity
 
stillness and light
i may not be here again at days end
so thank you
thank you for today

sunset and wires

sunset and wires

This pretty much sums up the area that we live in. We are close to a nuclear power plant and there are lots of high voltage trees “growing” on the endless corn and soybean fields here on the plains. After a while you do appreciate the beauty of the plains…

the nook sunset

Living in the plains of the Midwest does have its benefits.  I do miss the Atlantic Ocean on the south shores of Long Island… the mountains of upstate New York…  but I have come to appreciate the many beautiful horizons of our town: Minooka.

I wrote about our recent trip to Montana here. This was taken after we took a truck ride up to the top of a mountain (I think it was called Granite Peak).
