====================
* I am speaking of Lucerne in Maine,
near Bangor, Maine, USA.
The scenery is said to remind people of
Lucerne, Switzerland.
.
This photo reminds me of my last view of Mt. Fuji from the plane.
================================================
.
Peace be with you
Spring a natural peace
Fuji calls

Fuji calls
Seen from home often
Road beckons

I lived in Japan for a time when my first husband
was stationed there on a Navy base.
On a clear day, Mt. Fuji could be clearly seen
from near my house.
When we decided to drive to the mountain,
I was surprised by the patience of the people
in the long line of cars waiting to get to the
base where the path led to the top.

I give thanks that this wonderful view greets us when we arrive to paint two days a week at the Somevllle Library. For me it is a special spiritual experience to be able to paint here. A blessing for sure that we are welcome here at no expense and have been for many years now.

Happy
..
Thanksgiving
.
to all my readers.
.
.
I know it is an American
Holiday and some of you
reading this do not celebrate
Thanksgiving…I give thanks
for your support and friendship
also.
.
This is a traditional time to
giving thanks for our blessings
and I give thanks for all my
readers…I appreciate the time
you take to read my blog,
write comments, and nurture
my writing.
.
I give thanks
for the people who have left a mark
on my heart and spirit,
whether in short passing
or for the longer journey.
I appreciate the boundless blessings
and God’s grace!
.
I give thanks for supportive family
and chosen family who are there
when I need help…getting old is
the pits some days…
those of you I can call on day or
night, know how much I appreciate
you love and caring.
.
In peace and love,
prayers and hugs to those of you who
need them, I know many of you are
suffering in many ways, with illness,
personal disasters from fire, accidents,
or weather disasters, the state of the
economy in many countries around
the world …
know I care and keep you in my thoughts
and prayers.

While the weather is still mild most days, road construction kept us stopped for a long time on the short bridge between Mount Desert Island (Bar Harbor) and Trenton, Maine. This tree fascinated me, and the longer we sat, the more I decided I NEEDED photos of the unique markings on the trunk.
.
I feel a painting coming on.☺
