Try to remember the kind of September
when life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
when grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
when you were a tender and callow fellow,
Try to remember and if you remember the follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
that no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender that
dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender that
love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember and if you remember then follow.
Go to Fine Art America's front page and hoover your mouse over the pictures there.... My photograph is the golden colored old shrimp boat in the lower right corner with the name "Living in the past".

Hi my friends,
Thank you for all the wonderful comments to my post yesterday!
Todays picture is an attempt to give my photo a painterly look. I know, I'm still far away from that with my technics, but it's big fun to play around in Photoshop.
One day, I'll use the real brushes :))
I hope you'll have a great start in coming up weekend!

To spend some quality time together at the beach - or somewhere else - is necessary for a healthy relationship!
Hi my friends,
thank you for the kind comments from yesterday to my "Spider Lilly" flower. I got a lot of nice comments, a lot of visitors and one person also sent to me the following message on facebook:
Vickie wrote:
"Care of Wikipedia: Hymenocallis (pronounced /ˌhaɪmɨnəˈkælɪs/)[1] is a genus of plants in the family Amaryllidaceae. It contains 63 species native to tropical and subtropical America. Hymenocallis are bulbous perennial herbs. The flowers have their stamens united to a characteristic corona. Hymenocallis means "beautiful membrane" in Greek, which refers to the staminal corona that connects the stalks of the stamens for a portion of their length. The plants have large spectacular flowers. Some of the species are known as varieties of "spider lilies"."
Thank you so much, dear Vickie for telling me this, now I know the exact name of my Spider Lilly flower!
I'm learning everyday something new from my dear friends :)
It's great to have such nice friends - like YOU ALL!
Have a wonderful day - and don't forget to have some quality time today with your "better half"!
The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can. ~Paul Kurtz~
Hi my friends,
I wish you all a great start in this new week, make it to the best one!
Thank you also for all the kind comments and compliments to all my posts from the last week.
There is only one situation I can think of in which men and women make an effort to read better than they usually do. It is when they are in love and reading a love letter. ~Mortimer Adler~

All of us have moments in our childhood where we come alive for the first time. And we go back to those moments and think, This is when I became myself. ~Rita Dove~
Hi my friends,
All your kind comments yesterday made my day. I'm glad you liked my post and the song with Bing Crosby!
I have nothing interesting to say today. Maybe this: Take special care today, because it's Friday the 13th!!!!! Look out for all those black cats running over the street....*smile*....
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze,
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in.
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies.
On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise.
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in.
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise.
Ba boo ba ba boo.
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in.
No.
Poppa, don't you fence me in

Hi my friends,
The photo above was made two days ago in the evening at the beach, close where I'm living. I've captured the last long sunbeams over the miniature sand dunes. I like this light situations, they are warm and so soft looking. It's the best time of the day for shooting photos, since I can't get up that early in the mornings :))
I hope you enjoy the picture!
Have a wonderful day,
Susanne
