  1. Beautiful and vibrant pictures…..I am looking out of my window at the snow falling and then looking back at your pics…….You bring sunshine and *smiles* to me today ……Thank you Cindy….as ever your photography leaves me breathless……. 😀

  2. Really stunning colors, Cindy. Nature and all its glory is hard to beat as well as your choice of descriptive words. Nature comes automatically dressed for the occasion whereas we hit the department stores and makeup counters to appear seductive. 🙂

  3. OMG Cindy, these are just so BEAUTIFUL! I can’t find a big enough word (well I could but the list of adjectives is too long 🙂 ) and I simply adore them. You have a wonderful eye for the capture of each…the gorgeous birds (hummers?) and then those orchids!
    Would you mind if I printed them – just for me to have in my meditation room? They are so lovely. If you prefer not to I understand. Just let me know how to get them 😊.
    Blessings Susan 💖 💖

    1. Of course I want you to have them in your meditation room and I am sincerly honored that you could use them for such a wonderful purpose, plus I appreciate your thoughtfulness in asking me. Let’s try a few things, First try clicking on the photos and downloading them to your desktop. Then see if you can open them and print them. If this doesn’t work I can email you the links to the photos and you can open and print them. If you know a better way, I am completely willing to do it. Makes me very happy to think of you using them for this! <3 <3

  4. It takes something more than skill to capture the soul of a flower…, and you have done that, Cindy. This set of pics is far beyond beautiful. It’s mystic !!! Big Hug !

      1. Yes, twice! On Star (Latin America) and on either Sea or Ocean (Australia) I think. Luckily, both of us were safe (we both are semi-OCD). 😀 ))) Many staterooms were quarantined, with people going in and out with overalls and masks (as seen on movie ET). 🙁 I know that later Star was parked and disinfected thoroughly. Apparently, not only on the ships but it happens more than we know everywhere. Just that group of people being together for days and days, it becomes a ‘group activity’, for lack of better words for it. :D)))

      2. Yes, we are ocd on ships too. There are additionally two ships disabled now due to propulsion issues and passengers are complaining real x that the Captain/Admin is being unresponsive. This happened to us in Manuas Brazil after cruising up the Amazon, we were stranded for more than 48 hours and the Captain essentially never spoke to the passengers, at one point we were locked in a bus! When stuff goes wrong on a cruise ship, it goes wrong BIG time due to sheer numbers.

  5. oh my goodness Cindy – I am so glad I was able to drop by for this colorful slice of heaven. The fizz and texture on that first photo would have been enough – but the entire post was a colorful treat – you take some amazing pics….

  6. My sisters bday date I randomly selected to view- I sent her this link!!! Soo her in content too. Just spectacular multiplied by infinity rotated around the sun forever!!!! You’re so gifted at sharing God’s perfection. Thank you!
