Photographs and Place – Block Island Getaway

On August 4, 2013August 4, 2013 By TimelessladyIn Photographs, Place2 Comments

My husband and I have just returned from our yearly vacation to Block Island. Block Island is a gorgeous island off the coast of Rhode Island. This beautiful butterfly was photographed outside of the cottage we rented on the island. You can find more information on “The Cottage” and “The Upstairs,” at this link: The Upstairs at Block Island. We love this spot on the island, secluded, yet the center of town is only an easy walk or bike ride away.

This butterfly bush on the property kept me fascinated. Each time I passed by I found a beautiful winged creature to admire and photograph.

This gorgeous hummingbird moth visited the butterfly bush every day. What an amazing sight, imagine my delight when I spied two of these beauties on the same bush. Here’s a bit of information about Hummingbird Moths: Hummingbird Moths

Sweet little skipper butterflies also stopped by the bush.

Although their season is almost over, the wild roses are still putting on quite a show. This one was photographed beside “The Cottage” where we stayed the week.

Photograph and Psalm – Be Still…

On May 26, 2013May 25, 2013 By TimelessladyIn Photographs, Psalms and Proverbs1 Comment

“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation.

I will be honored throughout the world.”

Psalm 46:10 (NLT)

Sometimes to recover from a desolation of soul you must escape to a desolate place. There you will find rest. You will find stillness for your spirit. Breathe deep, exhale anxiety, and find peace within through God.

May the Eternal and Living God

bestow a gentle stillness upon your life

on this Sabbath Day.

I’ve been on a hunt for the prettiest iris in the neighborhoods where I live. I’m working on compiling all my finds in an Iris DVD. Here is a preview of one growing in my side garden.

Photograph – Dogwood

On May 5, 2013 By TimelessladyIn Photographs1 Comment

Dogwood trees are blooming in Southern New Jersey this weekend. My husband and I camped in Belleplain State Forest on Friday night and found this beautiful specimen in the forest.

Legend of the Dogwood Flower

The dogwood flower is “a representation of the Crucifixion itself, with the four white bracts cross-shaped, which represent the four corners of the Cross, each bearing a rusty indentation as of a nail and the red stamens of the flower, represents Jesus’ Crown of Thorns, and the clustered red fruit represent His Blood”

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus give you all of his blessings, and great peace of heart and mind. I Corinthians 1:3

I consider feeding ducks and geese one of my blessings. It is also one of my earliest happiest memories. When young, I fed the ducks in a park near the James River in Newport News, Virginia, the hometown of my paternal grandparents. I visited ducks in McDonald, Pennsylvania too. My grandmother would walk me to her neighbor’s yard to see his flock of ducks. The waddle and quack of ducks brings me great peace of heart and mind.

The raucous cries and whistles on this short video are the seagulls flying about my head. They also had their fair share of stale Cheerios and bread.

Please excuse the shakiness of the video, it’s not easy to keep the camera steady while tossing bread with one hand and getting your fingers nipped by a hungry duck’s bill.
