I wasn’t sure what to post today. It seems that when I read my favorite blogs, others say it so much better than I could. I was very glad to see Vee had the Note Card Party up and running. I will quote her now…
“Since this post was created, the tragic events in Boston have taken place. It is always a shock to come face to face with evil in one's own corner. Though the Note Card Party continues, I know that thoughts and prayers are with those who are suffering whether in grief over lives lost or with grief over the challenging task of recovery. When I saw this picture on MSN of a woman praying, I thought that her anguish says it all and that her example is fitting. Such events take us to our knees.” Vee at A Haven for Vee

These are some Florida scenes that I thought you would enjoy today.

Beautiful photos, Diane. Sometimes it's hard to find beauty amidst the violence and chaos, but God is the author of beauty and peace.
Thank you for the beautiful photos, Diane. Praying.

Your note cards actually work very well for this day. There is a reflective quality to them and each picture reminds us that the world is beautiful. And so are most of the people in it. We just simply can't let the few evil ones overwhelm us (because that's what they want).
Lovely and peaceful photos, Diane. Vee did say it so perfectly on her post. xo
Beautiful, peaceful shots. Sometimes we have to continue with the everyday order to fight the ugliness. Hugs----
Lovely, peaceful photos. I really love the dolphin with the light glinting off him. Such a great photo.
Hello My Dear friend,
Your photos always make my heart soar to see them. Love all the sealife and birdlife...I could very easy live Down By The Sea... I just started reading The Creek. I love it so far... Have a lovely week.
My heart and prayers go out to all the victim of the bombing in Boston.. Very sad indeed.
Hugs Judy
Thank you for posting the beautiful photos. They were nice to see...The news programs have been hard to watch. It is sad that someone evil has disrupted so many lifes. I pray for all those that are suffering. xoxo,Susie
And once again ( continue to pray and try to fathom this latest horrible tragedy )
We were discussing this at my office today. MY theory for the moment is that it is not foreign terrorism but a deranged USA citizen, while others had their own theories but bottom line we decided that the word "EVIL" and just that, should come back into our vocabulary.
Oh, Diane, the "let your heart soar" photo grabbed me. I really appreciate the extra steps you took to make these notecards extra special. Go ahead! Have them printed up. You'll be delighted with them.
So peaceful and serene Diane. All lovely.
Yes it is a sad day but your beautiful cards have lifted my spirits Diane, especially the gulls "Let your heart Soar".
This is a card I would love to add to my collection to send to friends.
hugs
Shane ♥
Thank you sharing, once again, for these beautiful scenes of your world!
Seeing NSB again made me tear up - miss that beach and The Breakers cheeseburgers.
I think your friend summed it all up quite eloquently. Although there are never adequate words. Ann
I love what you did to make this a cohesive set. They are beautiful.
Your note cards show how lovely Florida is in all aspects Diane. I like the colours of New Smyrna Beach.
Judith
The scenes that you used are so pretty. Not being a 'water girl', I can appreciate their beauty, tho.
After such a sad week, your cards give a feeling of peace.
I would title your photos
Nature in Abundance!
they are all beautiful.
Lovely images. Beautiful post.
Donna

Praying and praying some more-such a tragedy and so very scarey to wonder what next?

Lovely dolphin tale!
We like this area of Florida - we usually go down to Canaveral National Seashore to play on the beach.
Deanna
I really like the textures you used.
Great use of textures!
That sunset is glorious.
So pretty! I do want to visit Florida soon. Haven't been there in about 15 years or so.
Lovely images! I especially am drawn to the New Smyrna Beach collage...
Hello Neighbor! I live in Florida too! I love your FL pictures, they are beautiful. And I like how you linked them back to the original post! Great idea! I'll have to try that next time!
Lavender Dreamer,

Hi Diane! Your snaps are so beautiful and peaceful. Another senseless tragedy to hit our country. My prayers go out to them.

Your photos are just beautiful, Diane. So peaceful and calming. Just what we all need right now. I missed out on the party because of modem problems. Glad that's all fixed now!
Gorgeous pictures of our gorgeous Florida! It is all so peaceful, while so much of the nation is in terrible turmoil!
Praying here too.
