Amphibious Caravan

Hello everyone!  Welcome!  The video I have chosen for this post is a short 3 minute one that I found quite intriguing.  Hope you all enjoy it!  :)

The church photos I shared in my last post were of a Catholic church.

Route 66 & a Few Church Photos

Hello everyone!  A warm welcome to you all!  Thanks so much for stopping by!  I have never seen Route 66 except in photos and videos, but there is something about it that I find intriguing.  Perhaps it is the history behind it...many warm and friendly diners and other places were found there.  Since I really miss the old fashioned, warm and friendly atmosphere of stores and restaurants of days gone by, I think this is what fascinates me about Route 66.
I found this video on YouTube and just had to share it!
It is a short three minute video that I hope you will all enjoy!

Country Sunshine Memories

Hello everyone!  Thank you so much for stopping by!  The video I have chosen for this post is a great classic...this particular song was used in a vintage Coca Cola commercial!  In the lyrics of this song, when you hear "picture show", this was changed to "a bottle of Coke" for their TV commercial.  Dottie wrote this song for a Coke TV ad...and it almost hit the top of the charts.  I love this song, it is upbeat and wholesome!  Hope you all enjoy this!

The photos I am sharing today are ones that I took on a nature park walk.  The first two photos...not sure what breed of geese they are.  The last photo with the pair of geese?  These are Chinese geese.  I looked up breeds of geese on the internet and this is what they are.  The gander on the left is the nasty one.  LOL!  And yes, it looks as if he was on the prowl again.  It's O.K., though, I use my zoom feature on my camera now, so they get plenty of space.  You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.

Here is the Chinese geese couple...the gander is on the left, looking as if he is searching for his next victim.  I have named him the "black beaked brat."  LOL!  :)

Compassion for Others

Hello everyone!  I think compassion for others is such a beautiful thing...among humans and the animal kingdom!  The video I have chosen for this post is a great example of compassion for others.  You will see some sheep trying to help a bird.  They are very gentle and encouraging.  The clip is just one minute long.  Enjoy!

A pair of Canada geese.  I have been using the zoom feature on my camera in order to give any wildlife plenty of space.  :)

Journey Back in Time...and Some Goats!

Hello everyone!  Welcome!  The video I have chosen for this post is a short, one minute vintage 1961 Coca Cola ad.  I admit to drinking Coke and other soft drinks in my younger days, but even though I no longer drink Coke, I feel that they have made some excellent ads over the years.  I don't remember this particular one, though!  Enjoy!

Finding Beauty in Everyone...and Everything

Hello everyone!  Thank you so much for stopping by!  The video I have chosen for this post is entitled "Flowers and Nature with Calm Music".  It is a short 3 minute video.  I would suggest that you listen to this at a lower volume to get the best benefits from it.  Enjoy!

I am still practicing taking photos of flowers, a few of which I am sharing with you all today.  There are photos that I have taken within the last week or so on my walks.  I am still more comfortable photographing animals;  however, I really love flowers as well so I hope you will enjoy my flower photos.  You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.

I make it a point to try and find beauty in every person and everything around me.  It helps me to appreciate and enjoy everyone...and everything that life has to offer.  I fail miserably sometimes, but I always try!
