A Break Away For Writing and Prayer

I have left the Vicarage in Amanda and Brenda’s capable hands for the week, and I have headed into the Berkshires and the Catskills for a writing and praying breakaway

To observe Memorial Day I stopped at the grave of the first Joseph Elon Lillie
The view from the French King Bridge in Erving MA
This is my monastic cell? for the week. It’s called the Grain Bin

What do you think about my little writing chapel?

2021 Home Photo Challenge 5-14-21

The Home Photo Challenge was fun for me last year. Since I do not think much is going to be changing for me in the way of travel this year, I am going to continue the challenge for myself into 2021. This year I am going to add a little twist. I will give a brief description of each photo I take and write a Haiku to go along with it

Tendrils of Springtime

Reach to draw the sun’s strength forth

To bear much more fruit.

Earth fire burns Spring bright.

Lights the pathway for feet to

Garden’s great delight.

One of my many prayers

To Heaven for us.

CMMC: May Close Ups

Cee has a new photo challenge called Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge. The challenge for May is close-ups of macros.

Here are a few of the close-ups I have taken this last week here at The Vicarage.

The nectarine tree and pear trees are blooming. Soon the crab apple tree will bloom. In spite of the busy-ness of the season I am determined to take the time I need to enjoy the yard this year.

The maple flowers are really making me sneeze this year. The pollen is really something else.

I am really enjoying the moments of rain this season. We haven’t had enough moisture this year. Every drop counts.

The web roads of trees

The way of squirrels flying

Above the heads of man.
