God's invisible qualities - his eternal
power and divine nature - have been
clearly seen, being understood from
what has been made, so that men are
without excuse."

Thanks Rick for your visit....Wow what area of Florida are you in? I would Love to escape even if just a week from our winter's frosty grip but then travel has become so complicated these days. I really do Love to take advantage of Winter's challenges and the quiet that we find in our Forest...void of tourists!I stay away from the Snowmobile Trails and crowded ski hills!
Yes, agreed Elizabeth !

Hi Rick!
Gorgeous shots!
Just wanted to let you know that I posted about the St. Nicholas church you told me about on Rhodes just now! I linked back to you!
Thanks again so much for telling me about it! If you know of any others... please pass them on!

My dear friend Rick, hi
Many thanks for so kind words for my country!
Indeed, many believe that Greece is only for summer holidays!
In fact, offered for all types of holiday!
It has high mountains suitable for skiing, walking, has rivers suitable for rafting has gorgeous villages for rural tourism and generally suitable for all types of alternative tourism!
I wish you, you and your family to visit Greece one day!
Many greetings
perfect merging of image and word...
Great job with frames of images. Thank you for your comment on my blog. I greet. / Peter
Wonderful words and very striking photos to go with them. I do like the framing.
Hi Rick, feel free to drop by my blog to "steal"any recipes you like,hahaha Happy Thanksgiving day and have a nice day.
I could't agree more: God makes beautiful things and we have to Thank Him.
Kiss
Rick you woke me right up tonight, the vibrant colors are astounding, as are your photos. I love your quotes, the first one I've used before and the other three I say Amen!
Have a wonderful weekend my fortunate friend, mind you if I look a wee bit deeper I'll find color in my world as well. Until this semester is over there's no time for hunting for it though so thank you for putting some color in my life! ;-)
A lovely post, Rick. These hibiscus shots are so pretty. :)
I come late, but here I am..
Beautiful flowers and wonderful framing!
Thank you, Rick for sharing with us!!!
Ann - thank you very much for your kind words, and for including me on your blog - I consider that an honour. I will keep my eyes open for other opportunities and will pass them on to you. Have a wonderful week !
Hi Magda - your photos certainly show there's much more to Greece than is commonly known. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously last year when we visited Rhodes. It is definitely a beautiful country. Thank you for your continued visits.
Thank you, Leslie.
Hello Peter - thank you too for your visits and kind words. I hope your week goes well.
Thank you very much, Farmchick.
Thanks, Amelia - I will take you up on your offer. We did have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I wish you a great week ahead !
Hello BlueShell - we don't give thanks enough, do we. How many squabbles could be prevented by doing that !
Hi Darlene - we count ourselves blessed to be able to enjoy this part of the Creation at this time. As you said, there's beauty and colour to be found everywhere (if we have time to find it, of course ;-) May your week be a good one, and may all your essays be submitted on time with a minimum of stress !
Thank you, Nancy - a solution of vinegar and water seems to really have perked up the plants.
Hi Monika - better late than never ;-) Thank you for coming by and leaving a kind comment. Have a wonderful week !
