It's time for Ruby Tuesday.
And blessings to you, too --
whatever your native tongue,
your country of origin,
and your particular beliefs.

Mosaic Monday: Dreaming of Spring
After several days of intermittent snowfall
and periods of temps in the teens and 20s,
icy sidewalks and traffic inconveniences,
it's finally warmed up into the thirties.
I knew when I first roused this morning,
because I could hear the raindrops drumming
against the skylight in my bathroom.
So I fed the hungry felines,
then cozied back up in my comfy bed
and willed myself to dream spring into being.
Visit Mary and the other players at Mosaic Monday.
Shadow Shot Sunday: Symbols
A place of sacrifice, prelude to resurrection.
A sign of obedience to the will of the Creator.
Homage to faith,
to trusting with your whole being
that there is a plan for your life
whether or not you can understand it.
There are life lessons to be learned,
places in the heart so deep and rich
that they are unfathomable.
Whether or not you believe and worship,
it is an object of beauty,
made with loving hands.

Weekend Reflection: As Dawn Breaks
Dawn encroaches on the turf
so recently claimed by darkness,
bringing soft blues, hints of spun-sugar pink,
layers of blue-gray clouds that will meander
through before allowing the sun full reign.
Most of the city still sleeps.
Street lamps are still lit
and bounce their light off the placid waters
of the canal. Grand old buildings
admire their reflection another day.
A few watercraft chug along, bringing supplies.
The vaporettos chuff into the Rialto stops, largely empty.
The narrow passageways and piazzas
belong to carriers of cameras and tripods
for a few minutes more,
before shopkeepers appear with buckets of water
and brooms to make ready for business.

Mosiac Monday: Models in Period Costume
For Mosaic Monday, I thought I'd show you
how fun it was to work with models
in period costume in Venice.
Beautiful sisters
in beautiful gowns.

Weekend Reflection: Linens and Lace
sometimes you don't see
what's right in front of your eyes
until it's too late
I stopped and admired the lace things in this window
on my photo walk that began just as the sun was rising
but I never noticed at the time
how Venice just insisted on getting in the picture.
That camera hog!

Opening Doors
Doors to the past and future
to greater freedom
to understanding
to new beginnings.
Let's open them
and let the light shine in.
A prayer for inevitable change
in a climate of peace.
