Gives Freely
*******************
Light gives of itself freely,
filling all available space.
It does not seek anything in return;
it asks not whether you are friend or foe...
It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished.
_Michael Strassfeld

AOL Community Photo Challenge - The Magic Hour
AOL Community Photo Challenge
AOL Community Challenge-The Magic Hour-JUDGED
JUDGED Category
The Magic hour, or Golden hour is the first & last hour of sunlight.
It's the 1/2 hour before the sun rises, & 1/2 after the sun rises. It's also the 1/2 hourbefore sunset & 1/2 hour after.
**********
The Sun sets and waits for no man -
The Sun rises and waits for a woman - _rRose
**********
My goal for this photo challenge "Magic Hour," was to show the unique magical light play from sunrise and sunset - I can see the light color, and attempt to capture it through my camera lens. There aren't always ideal spots to just snap sunrise - sunset. I look for nearby places where the sun can be more easily seen rising or sinking over the mountain or slipping through the trees, etc. I manage to photograph more sunsets than sunrises. I love the "Magic Hour!"_rRose

Sound
sounds of mountain river -rugged whitewater new river gorge - wv _rRose
The life in us is like the water in the river.
It may rise this year higher than man has ever known it, and flood the parched uplands; even this may be the eventful year, which will drown out all our muskrats.
It was not always dry land where we dwell. I see far inland the banks where the stream anciently washed, before science began to record its freshets.
_Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854
- The Sound of Mountain Water -
I gave my heart to the mountains the minute I stood beside this river with its spray in my face and watched it thunder into foam, smooth to green glass over sunken rocks, shatter to foam again. I was fascinated by how it sped by and yet was always there; its roar shook both the earth and me._Wallace Stegner

when the risk [it took]
to remain tight in the bud
Was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

Happy Earth Day to All!
happy earth day every day! -a very special happy birthday to an excellent person! - wv - _rRos
Happy Earth Day - Every Day!
"Earth needs
Grass and stone and tree
And things that grow here
Naturally.
That's why we
Celebrate this day.
That's why across
The world we say:
As long as life,
As dear, as free,
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me."
_Jane Yolen
"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases;
it will never pass into nothingness;
but still will keep a bower quiet for us,
and a sleep full of sweet dreams,
and health, and quiet breathing" -
_John Keats
