Endless Beginnings
July 22, 2012 
There it was - I thought. Life - in all its splendor and glory - laid out right there before me. For my eyes. To soak in..to observe..to feel...to see.
The light and dark..the rough and smooth..the breathtaking color and countless shades of endless ordinary grey. Layers - stacked one atop another. I peel one away..and reveal another...and then one more after that.
Endless cycles. Endless returnings that are followed with new beginnings. Time after time. Day after day. Again and again.
The world turns. The sun rises in the east..and sets in the west. The storms roll in...and roll out. The seasons change. Life - in all its everyday beauty - goes on..and on...and on.

what a beautiful photo.....
Beautiful image Marcie, and as always such wonderful words to go with it.
Wishing you a fantastic beginning to your week!
xo.
Nice reminder of the waves of time and events (as if we could escape that little wake up call every morning). Sometimes things are daunting; sometimes they are smooth and comfortable. I'm always amazed at human resiliency was well as the capability to celebrate...and it's all in the meeting of life as it comes our way.
That sky looks at once ominous and beautiful. Fantastic.
I love the layers of color-- so beautiful!
When you put it that way, it really does seem like the miracle it is! A beautiful miracle.
Beautiful cool shot Marcie. I love this colors !

What an impossibly beautiful landscape. I don't fathom how you were able to do this, but composition, mood, it's all so nice.
Stunning.
Beautiful layers and vibrant, yet subdued, colours - and that's an oxymoron if ever I saw one!
A very beautiful and peaceful scene. The colours and light is stunning. Beautifully seen and captured !
Amazing beauty and peace!
Gorgeous.
Great writing and wonderful photo.
masterful composition and fabulous colors. And the verbal thinking that goes with it is something we all need to reflect on more than we do.
I love the way you see things!
Lovely post and fantastic photo ! ~ thanks, namaste, (A Creative Harbor)
Marcie - how beautifully you have expressed the cycle of life - in both words and image. A wondrous way to begin my week.
The colors in this shot are amazing. The sky seems laid out in layers where the artist has used a different brush for each layer.
Gorgeous image Marcie, love the layers in all their elements.
