365 Days of Memories Take Four -- Day 173

Super Moon

Taking pictures of the moon is no easy task. You have to have the right type of camera, zoom lense, and no how to use the manual settings. I do not have an extreme zoom lense on my camera so I just used what I did have. Didn't do too badly though. Seeing the Super Moon last night was a really neat thing though and it looked so cool just hanging out there in the sky :)

365 Days of Memories Take Four - Day 171

*All the noise and the voices are screaming what they have to say.
And the headlines and sound bytes are giving me demons to hate.
And the man on tv, he tells me it's ugly but if you ask me,

It's a beautiful world,
It's a beautiful world.

Oh there's tears and there's fears and there's losses and crosses to bare.
And sometimes the best we can do is just to whisper a prayer,

and press on because, there's so much to live for and so much to love...

In this beautiful world.
Say what you will, but I still believe
it's a beautiful world.

And I know, I'm not dreaming it.
I just choose to believe in it.

So I hate that I sometimes miss what's right in front of my eyes.
And I know at the end of my road I'll be wanting more time.
Just another sunset, one more kiss from my baby, a smile from a friend...

In this beautiful world.

Say what you will but I still believe,

It's a beautiful world.*

365 Days of Memories Take Four - Day 168

Gone Fishin'

June 2013Bodie Island

Outer Banks, North Carolina

*When the frantic pace of life attacks me,
and weighs me to the ground,
I long for someplace to escape to,
the one place I have found.

No stoplights to obey.

No signs or limits there.
Just drop the hook and make your home,
almost anywhere.

Where the sky meets the water,
Where the wind is my song,
Where the sun is my brother,
That's where I belong.

The gentle motion of the seas

just rocks me off to sleep.
No sirens, cars or screams
Just the quiet ocean breeze.

A frigate bird encircles me a thousand feet above
She dips her wing and bows her head
Like we share a common love.

Where the sky meets the water,
Where the wind is my song,
Where the sun is my brother,
That's where I belong.*

Bodie Island Lighthouse

*We are told to let our light shine

and if it does,
we won't need to tell anybody it does.

Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining...

They just shine.*

365 Days of Memories Take Four! - Day 160

Back from vacation and I have many photos to share of our wonderful trip. This first one is of sunset over our beach house on our first night. I had an amazing time with my family and definitely did not want to come home! I love our annual Outer Banks trips :)

365 Days of Memories Take Four! - Day 151

*They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Maybe that's true... maybe it isn't.

I only know this;

It has to make you better.
It HAS to.*
