Two hearts joined together with love and passion can never be broken.

It is not about what we receive, whether we call them gifts or  presents, it is all about how we feel in this present moment.  Let us carry this feeling with us everyday for the rest of our lives.

Change will come, create it or be changed by it. What say you?

Christmas is a time for reflection both personally and universally.   As we celebrate this holy holiday let’s remember those less fortunate than us and be the light to the world, in the same way as the Christ in Christmas.

Sixth and last day of my ‘blue’ week.

With my batteries charged up, I sum up the day and carry images with me as I leave this beautiful place…

Last Sunrise from Theologos [Greece]

Sunrise…

Sea embracing a rock…

Rocky shore

Sea pattern – pebbles…

A salt pocket

Another salt pocket

Rocks meet sea…

Growing between rocks…

More salt pockets

A tiny fish ‘swimming’ in a sea of salt… on the rocks.

Rocks in the sea with Livanates and Arkitsa in view…

Pebbles shore welcoming a wave.

Cracks of water…

The sea horizon at dusk…

Lights reflections in the water.

I’ll end this with a sunset from the same place, but a different time, as I’m already viewing the city buildings…

Elections, here in Greece…

Wishing everyone a beautiful Sunday and happy week ahead!

Second day of my ‘blue’ week. While charging up my batteries I absorb as much as I can from this beautiful place…

Sea patterns…

Two seagulls enjoying the sun

Evia island peeking behind Theologos village [Fthiotis – Greece]

…more sea patterns

Another beautiful tree by the sea

Two pine trees embracing the blue sea

Sun going down as the day fades…

Admiring nature’s painting

Sea patterns changing…

What a view…

A boat moving towards the sunset

…and yet another sea pattern!

…more boats gathering.

Wishing everyone a beautiful Wednesday!

A different view .

A view including sea

and a sun

on fire!

What a treat it was!

A sunset on fire!

Good evening everyone and welcome to another Friday Night Poetry Corner.

Before I begin, just give me a moment to talk about a good friend who passed away so quickly, abruptly that left such a hole in her loved ones’ hearts. This includes her brilliant, thoughtful 13-year son.

Her name is Jane Njeri Ngugi.

Jane was one of the most beloved, smart, passionate, thoughtful human beings I have had the distinctive honor of meeting and forming a close bond. We were a couple for a while, and even when we broke up, we were still good friends and loved each other. She spent most of her adult life fighting for people’s rights who had been done wrong by any authority. She also studied in various universities across the world and among her studies was writing. Jane left his realm of existence on June 20th of 2020.

Jane was a fantastic…

The park had its early development in 1906 with the donation by John and Robert Garrett of Baltimore of 1,917 acres. The intention for such a gift was to be used for the creation of a state forest. The land now known as Garrett State Forest comprised the areas that became Swallow Falls and Herrington Manor state parks, both of which were established in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Built-in 1827, the initial tower was the first monument dedicated to George Washington. The Washington Monument in Baltimore was completed two years later, but it started earlier in 1815. The more known Washington Monument in the District of Columbia was not finished until 1885.
