| Red-Backed fairy Wren - A tiny Australian bird. |
May you sing your song with all your heart,
May you notice the colours of life anew and be refreshed as you serve others.
May you take opportunities and pursue your passions,
May you take time for creative endeavours and find friends to join you on your journey,
May you dance in the rain, play golf on the sand flats and enjoy some crazy fun,
And when you feel like the tide has gone out, may you find God's presence and grace to be more than sufficient to keep you safe and loved at all times.
Looking forward to a wonderful 2013, rich with untold possibilities and filled with the grace to handle the challenges which help us grow. Happy New Year!
* All photos taken yesterday, while on our mini holiday. We'll have no internet access come midnight until we reach home in a few days.......looking forward to catching up again then.
Blessings,
Karen

Once again a fabulous series of images Karen, complemented by thoughtful words of encouragement. That first one is a stunner, together with the "golf on the beach at sunset" shot. Thanks again for sharing. Blessings

Love the photos (the bird is beautiful) and all the sentiments...thanks so much for sharing!
Fantastic photographs! The first few were especially great.
Karen each one of these shots is just gorgeous, and what you have written here is like "The Australian Blessing". I especially love the last one as i work with the elderly, and know that many older people so need to remember this! How we are still held in His hands!!
Love that little Red Wing Black bird... he's singing his heart out. Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #64!
It's a tiny Australian Red-Backed Fairy Wren, no doubt similar to your Red Wing Black Bird, beautiful all the same.
What amazing pictures. It's lovely what nature provides.
Hi Karen, the loveliest of words and photos you shared we us for the new year.
Your creative endeavors are amazing.
Gorgeous photos! I love the singing Fairy Wren!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Karen!! May 2013 be all you have hoped & prayed for and then some.
Your sunsets are stunning and the Red-backed Fairy Wren is beautiful!!
