A Glorious End to a Rainy Day

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

~ Albert Einstein


I've been mentioning heavy rains a lot in my posts of late.  That's because we've been experiencing heavy rains far too early in the season.  The heavy rains came on too suddenly after the very hot summer.  Normally we have a beautiful Fall season first. I love Fall and I don't want to miss the leaves before they all fall to the ground.  Heavy rains can make them fall before their time.





I was so pleased to see the sky which turned a magnificent light pink and purple at the close of day on Wednesday.

It doesn't take a lot to make me happy. 
Nature and her beauty always brings a smile to my face.

Joining up with Skywatch Friday. Thank you to all who visit and leave comments.

Hi Joy! I always think it's such a blessing to be able to get joy from nature. Here is God's work, around us every day, and so often we take it for granted.

Your photos are so dramatic! The pink sky is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing the pictures, and your thoughts.

Happy Weekend!
