For this blog category, “Countdown to Christmas: Images of Peace,” each day between December 1 and 25, I share some of our photography that invites rest, peace, tranquility and love.
Peaceful Pine-ing
HR and yours truly. Lying in the Sheep Meadow. Central Park. NYC. 2016. Our very first trip to New York City together.
“These vagabond shoes ….” 🎶
Walking near our place the other day, Robert and I came across this gorgeous rose.
IN NOVEMBER!!! Seriously?

a bloom of beauty and a prickly hope.” —Doug Jenkins
“Sticking”
A fantastic ACORN I recently found.
She is simply fantastically beautiful. Don’t you think?
Marveling this morn!
A sampling of YELLOW photographed near HR and me here in Historic District Savannah.
1. The fact that most of the disagreements between Robert and me are of a minor variety. Such as “how to have” tuna salad for lunch. He likes to get all carbohydrate-y with bread …
While I, more superiorly, (is that a word?) skillfully position the tuna, tilting rather Cirque de Soleil-ishly, on a bed of lettuce and tomato …
Okay, maybe his looks a little better. From the side.
2. Last night watching Grandson Daniel beautifully yet harrowingly perform perhaps his most serious role yet—Buddy Layman, a depression-era autistic teen with the ability to find water, in Jim Leonard’s The Diviners.
The full cast …
Not-so-happy ending …
3. Chrysanthemums in Savannah.
4. Shrimp.
5. The word “healthy” in all its various meanings.
I hope you have a healthy and restful weekend ahead.
Each day, I continue to be amazed at the incredible, diverse joy of Plant Life.
This post could go on and on, but I’ll end with perhaps The Joy of My Life, the southern Longleaf Pine …
Here’s to Plants!
