Your private dancer...

But in reality we are accompanied by the whole dancing universe.

Ruth St. Denis 

Hi my friends,

Thank you for all the nice comments to my last post.

Today I'm showing you a composition and impression of one for me most fascinating dances: The ballet, a fine art and poetry of the feet. 

It was my biggest dream as a little girl to be one day a "Prima-Ballerina" and dancing all over the world most famous stages. 

But, doe's not every little girl has those dreams...? :-))

Well, the little girl is grown up today, but the love for ballet remains....

Have y'all a wonderful day - don't forget to dance!

It's a choice you make...

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, 

not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. 

It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, 

but over and over again - and that choice is reflected

in the way you treat your husband or wife.

Hi my friends,

Thank you for all the kind comments to my post from last Sunday, they were happily appreciated.

Happily, I'm feeling better now after some really bad days.

A popular saying tells: "weed never dies", right? :-)

Wishing you all a good time and come back visiting me again, I love to see you (commenting) on my blog :-)

Hi my friends,

Yesterday was my Birthday and yes, I had a wonderful, great day! Thank you ALL for all the over 300 congratulations and good wishes!

And this was exactly what I did in the afternoon: sitting on the beach, enjoying the sun, doing some photographs - and after all that, having a BIG ice creme ....mmmhhh...!

It felt like back in my child hood days: GOOD!!

It's great to have Birthdays! :-))

I agree so much with the quote by Anton Chekhov.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day too!!

Come Dance with the West Winds...

 

Fly away with me

Come dance with the west wind,
And touch all the mountain tops,
Sail o'er the canyons, and up to the stars,
And reach for the heavens, and hope for the future,
And all that we can be, not what we are.

~John Denver~ 

 Hi my friends,

it seems that the problems in Japan are not ending at all - our prayers are with all the Japanese people!

I want to say thank you to all of you for your kind comments to my last posts where I tried to explain my sadness and feelings to this unbelievable painful nature disaster - it's still a shock for the whole world!

My today's post is about the humans dream to fly and John Denver wrote it down with wonderful words!

Come and fly with me!

If there really exist a loving God....

Hi my friends,
in these sad days of being eye witness of all the terrible disaster that happened to Japan - and still happen - it's hard to blog about anything. No words can describe the pain and sadness the Japanese people are going trough right now!!!!

If there really exist a "loving God"... where is he now? If you see him, ask him just one word: WHY???

~Susanne

Weeping for Japan!

Weeping for all the people in Japan - our thoughts are with you!

And the river runs....

 

Banana River at sunset

The Banana River

is a lagoon that lies between Cape Canaveral and Merritt Island in Brevard County, Florida in the United States. It is part of the Indian River Lagoon system, and connects at its south end to the Indian River; it is the only part of the lagoon system not in the Intracoastal Waterway. It also has an outlet to the Atlantic Ocean via a lock into Port Canaveral. The lagoon includes salt marshes, mangrove swamps, seagrass beds, drift algae, oyster bars, tidal flats, and spoil islands, providing habitats for many marine species.These are brackish waters mixed of salt and fresh water;waist deep with a soft bottom sand/grass. Commercial and recreational activities in the lagoon generate more than US$ 800 million annually for the local economy.

Hi my friends,

many thanks for all the kind comments to my last post here on my blog or over there at Facebook. 

Love to see you enjoying my humbled blog :)

Today's picture is a detail shot of the Banana River in sunset light. 

I was longtime waiting for some Dolphins to appear at the surface or a Manatee, but nothing happend! 

I guess they just were not in a mood to smile into my camera. 

Well, maybe another day, who knows....*smile*.....

Have a wonderful Friday - it's weekend again! 

Is time flying by faster than ever???

The rising sun can dispel the darkness...

The rising sun can dispel the darkness of night, but it cannot banish the blackness of malice, hatred, bigotry, and selfishness from the hearts of humanity.

Hi my friends,

Thank you ALL so much for the wonderful comments to my last "fish" post. 

I appreciate also all the new faces visiting my blog and a special thank to Linda Ellerbee who is the creator of that quote I've used yesterday. Thank you Linda for your encouraging words to my post! It's a great honor for me to get a comment from the author herself.

I wish you all a sunny day!

If you believe in your heart...

If you believe in your heart that you are right, you must fight with all your might to do it your way.

Hi my friends,

Thank you for the kind comments yesterday, I do very much appreciate it!

I love this quote, it's one of my all time favorites. :))

A new week is arrived, new adventures are waiting for you. I wish you only good experiences!

Hi my friends,

I have to say THANK YOU for all the kind comments to my post one day ago. I appreciate every single one. I want also say thanks for your loyalty to my blog over the year and in the last 4 years, since I'm now blogging. I have enjoyed your friendship very much. I loved to see new faces visiting and of course, I'm sad about those who never came back again. But that's how life works. People come and people go - that's fine with me. :))

This photo above is connected to the Christmas spirit what we all are in in these days, some of us are more involved, some of us less. And Christmas is coming fast... every years it seems for me, Christmas was just yesterday :))

I wish you all a great time and stay warm. It's warming up again in Florida, finally!!! yeah....!
Have a wonderful Friday and a great coming weekend.
~Susanne

Ask yourself....

Captured in Silver City, New Mexico

Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves - or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.
Ayn Rand

Hi my friends,
I hope you all stay warm and protected from the cold temperatures we have just now! Yesterday I wore the first time my winter coat and the warm closed shoes - no flip-flops anymore :)) But, for weekend it should be warmer again, the weather man says that - I hope he will be right!

I know, Christmas is just around the corner - kids can barely wait and we adults have still so much to do, we are busy like crazy with running around for the right gift. Take some time in between your rushes to relax, enjoy good music or read that book you've always wanted to read. Well.. o.k. I sound like a life coach now... I will stop my preaching... You know the best, what's good for you, right? :))

Happy Holidays.

Perhaps....

Perhaps it is because cats do not live by human patterns, do not fit themselves into prescribed behavior, that they are so united to creative people.

Thank you very much for all your kind visits on my blog yesterday!

I hope you like my seagull photo. I used a post processing technique to give a simple photo a more exclusive look. The birds were captured in Sebastian, FL.

On the Way to Paradise....

If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awake - Aye, what then?
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
