“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.”
“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.”
Colossians 1:15-16
Thursday, and this bud is getting prepared for…
… Friday- what a difference a day makes!
Focaccia and olive oil is about as good as it gets!
A beach with a view or a view of the beach, either way, gorgeous!
Pentas strike quite a contrast with the vanilla-strawberry hydrangeas.
A few threatening clouds seems to have quieted the normal river activity!
Our zinnias have been prolific this year. We planted seeds instead of buying plants.
Local cottage in our historic area with another crepe myrtle displaying mid-summer blooms!
A cottonwood tree is attempting to hone in on cattail turf!
Another beautiful Weiss Lake sunset.
I hope you will join me tomorrow for my alfresco tablescape!

Glorious, glorious photos this morning, Pam! I especially love your opening photo and oh, my ~ the sunset. You should do a book of just your magnificent sunsets!
Many blessings to you and yours. Have a beautiful day!
Thank you sweet friend. Enjoy your day!
“These are a few of my favorite things”‘, crepe myrtles in full bloom, sunrises and sun sets, Gods mighty water and His word to give me hope. But Pam, where is Ella Mae’s picture?
Thank you Sweet Alice! Are you sure that my readers are not tired of this over the top Grandmother ? Wishing you a joy-filled Sunday my friend.
Can’t speak for others but Miss Ella Mae is so precious I can’t imagine getting tired of her picture. We need sweet precious smiling faces to keep us sane.
That is so sweet Alice, thank you sweet friend!
Such beautiful pictures and inspiring scripture, sweet friend! Enjoy your Sunday!
Thank you Shannon. Blessings~
What beautiful peaceful pictures! That sunset is to die for!
My daughter loves hydrangeas – have to show her the vanilla-strawberry ones.
Thanks for the peaceful monent! ?
Thank you sweet friend. Blessings~
I always look forward to your Sunday showcase Pam! I especially love the photo of the bench overlooking the lake. I’m looking forward to all the al fresco tables next week, I’m hoping the weather here cooperates so I can set my table, it’s soooo windy here. Have a wonderful Sunday!
Jenna
Thank you Jenna. We have had wind over the weekend. Wishing you a wonderful week!
Pam, today I could not say which photo I like the most. I am impressed by the vitality of the plants that in just one day goes from being a button to a beautiful flower. Nature is incredible, we will never know the magic of the things that surround us.
The photo of the wooden bench facing the river is very good …
A quiet and pleasant Sunday full of the wonders of nature.
Thanks friend
Querida Dolores, me encantan tus visitas. Ha sido muy caluroso y húmedo y difícil salir para fotografiar. ¡Espero que estés bien, dulce amigo! deseándoles una maravillosa semana de bendiciones! Abrazos, Pam
Hi Pam! I read your post with my Mom and she was enchanted with such beauty! I miss Ella Mae too!Hugs and a blessed Sunday.
Maristella, you are so sweet, thank you! Hugs!
All beautiful pictures. I love the sunflower and zinnias.
It is storming here this afternoon. There was a storm last night that downed trees and limbs closer to town.
Look forward to tomorrow.
You photos are like therapy! I really love them. Beautiful, inspiring. A part of the world I haven’t been to (yet) so I feel lucky to have seen your beautiful portrayal xx Maria
Thank you Maria!
So beautiful, my friend! Such a dear blessing to visit with you and soak in all of the lovely photos. God bless you with a wonderful week ahead!
Cheryl, I always enjoy your visits. Have a joy-filled week my friend!
Hello dear friend, I don’t see a photo of a child, Ella Mae or anyone else, and I thought you always have a child in your Sunday post? Beautiful post anyway, as always.
Your lovely images are so peaceful and perfect for some contemplation.
Thank you Chloe!
Even though I may not get to “Sunday” till Tuesday, it’s always a favorite post of the week!
Thank you Jeanie!
Beautiful photos. Your gardens are superb.
Thank you Barbara!
Beautiful photos. I couldn’t decide which one I liked best. We planted zinnias from seeds this year, too, and they are doing well. They have added a lot of color and height.
Thank you for visiting Donna. Happy Sunday~
