....but lightning I love!

(Camera-Random)

        Lightning, it is said, is one of the most beautiful displays in nature.  It is also one of the most deadly phenomena known to man. With bolt temperatures hotter than the sun and shockwaves beaming out in all directions, lightning is a lesson in physical science and humility.....











 



















.....but lightning, I love!

Apple-picking went Anika

(Camera-Random)
  
           Apple!  - not the designer of  iPod and  iTunes,  Mac laptop and desktop computers,  the OS X operating system and the revolutionary  iPhone and  iPad....... but the pomaceous fruit of the apple tree, species Malus domestica in the rose family.

         Yes, that apple! That apple which comes in all shades of reds and greens and yellows.  That apple which was the favorite fruit of  ancient Greeks and Romans.... and of Anika... which is why with her, we went apple-picking yesterday.











Am going to pick this apple!


....two....three.....!

Uh-oh!

Nope...that one's still mine....


Hey, you,  -you're mine!


Come on......


Now up-sy daisy!


....wasn't difficult at all!



......really SWEET!

OOps!....starting to drizzle!





Anika interested in the cider mill...





Easy to balance on this pumpkin!





        This lovely cluster of yellow flowers was at the entrance of the farm... lovely sight as Anika said  goodbye to the apple afternoon she just enjoyed!

To my Jewel of a Son....

(Camera-Random)


  




  ....a heartfelt greeting on your birthday!  October 23 will always be a most tender memory in my whole existence, an event that will never find the right words to describe it in its complete essence and therefore will better be left unsaid.







 Just this to be said, though.....-I love you, dear one......and
















































































'my mom, this!'

       ............. I pray for God's continued blessings on you and your lovely family!
