Foggy Morning @Sea Lion Caves

This is a picture of Heceta Head lighthouse keepers house on the Oregon Coast on a foggy wintry day for Sky Watch Friday.
Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.

Niagara Falls

This is my contribution for Skywatch Friday. It was taken just about two years ago around this time of year at Niagra Falls, NY.This place is still awe inspiring when you visit.It is amazing the sheer volume of water that falls over the falls here. I remember that when you were walking along by the side of it you could almost feel the vibration of the falls thru the ground on your feet.

I also would like to add my contributions to One Single Impression. The topic this week was change.

Glaciers melt
as earth becomes warmer
Planet in crisis.

Walking in the night
Frogs singing their mating call
Springtimes Alarm Clock.

Hope you all have a good weekend.

People say that walking on water is a miracle; but to me, walking peacefully on Earth is the real miracle."Thich Nhat Hanh

Skywatch Friday

Ecola State Park

I am posting this early for SkyWatch Friday. I will be working for the next three days straight and I wanted to make sure and post.I also want to give a little explanation as to why I seem to post at odd times.I am an RN and I work 3-4 twelve hour shifts a week and with the drive to and from work it makes for 14.5 hour days when I work so much I don't feel much like posting on those days . On the days I work basically it consists of work,eat, sleep and repeat.LOL!!
I love this photo it is the classic Oregon shot of the North Caost taken from Cascade Head at Ecola State Park. I never grow tired of it and the huge Monolith is Haystack Rock.
I just want to thank each and everyone of you who visit here. I enjoy reading each of your blogs and getting to know each of you.
Hope you all Have a Terffic Weekend!

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
