PhotoPOSTcard: Niagara Falls at Night

Niagara Falls is beautiful by day or night. Even on an overcast day, once it gets dark, they glow with a variety of colors as bright lights illuminate all three falls.

Thanks for visiting.

PhotoPOSTcard: A Classic California Sunset

I love to watch sunrises and sunsets over water. But since I am not much of a morning person, sunsets on the west coast are my favorite. This one was especially dramatic as the tide was going out at Asilomar State Beach on the Monterrey Peninsula in California. I was there for a quilting class with the Empty Spools Seminars program and the spectacular beach sunsets were a bonus.

Thanks for visiting.

PhotoPOSTCard: Sending a Vase Full of Hope

Every fall I plant a few bags of tulip bulbs in my garden. I think of them as little packages of hope and promises that will bring color and sunshine after a drab and cold winter. Once they bloom, I cut them and bring them into the house where they bring me joy and make me smile. These days, it’s the little things that make one happy that are all that much more important.

From my family to yours, wherever you are in the world, here’s hoping you have a joyous and safe weekend and if you celebrate it, a happy Easter or Passover.
