After the Rain
After the Rain here in the south the flowers come back to life even on the beaches. I want to say thank you to all of you that stop by to view my photos and read some of my words. I am not the best at writing but I have often said I like to let my photos speak for me. In a way that lets your imagination flow, a way for you to see a part of creation that is not always visible to all of us.
You may have noticed I have been posting photos from the southern states along the Gulf Coast for a few weeks now. Well, actually it has been since September. On September 30th 2021, I turned 60 years old and wanted to spend that day on the gulf coast which we did.
But, what I have not mentioned until now is that my husband and I have thought about this trip for some time now. We have been traveling for 5 months now and plan on skipping winter all together. I have always believed that life, for me, has never been on my timeline but on the creator’s timeline.
So this is the year that we are chasing 70 degree weather and so far it has been working out, is has been staying in the 70’s or less. The best part is not shoveling snow for the first time in my entire life.
Some may wonder how can one travel in times like this. It has always been my contention that the gaining of Knowledge cannot be decoupled from life experience which gives us a foundation of Wisdom. Simply put Common sense or the lack thereof of Common Sense determines one’s course or path in life.
Cognitive reasoning becomes distorted when we are given a daily dose of half truths to swallow in hopes of some redeeming value. Far to often in the realms of societal constraints imposed upon us, the daily rules and regulations, thousands of rules that regulate our everyday walk. We spend our waking hours in minute details of life.
The face of man kind is changing rapidly due to these effects. Society in large part has lost its bearings its common sense.
Opinions turn one into a thief to steal from others to maintain a feel good attitude. A sense of superiority lording over others in a competitive spirit.
We can all have an opinion and facts have no basis in Reality because they don’t progress. Truth lies in the opinion of the speaker and what he thinks.
Progressions turn into distortions. We have lost respect for the construct of Creation and instead it becomes easier to explain life in what ever feels good at the time. Life becomes motionless at a standstill, you will decay, losing your bearings, your Nature in Creation.
If we leave our nature, the natural beauty that we are, we forget who we are and become someone else.
I see people creating life everyday around me. With their words and photos. Some will see the light some won’t that is just a fact of life. When your desire to live overrides what man told you on how to live. Your purpose in life might just be right in front of you. These are the thoughts that came to me by Creating my Vision.
Have a Wonderful Weekend.

Thank you very much Linda, it has taken 60 years to get to do this trip. A long time waiting. 😊
Yes, a long time Sandra and very much worth the wait.
I really enjoyed your post! Really makes me ponder about where we truly come from. We have a great responsibility to treat others and nature properly😁
Thank you very much Josh, yes this world is a beautiful place that I feel is given to us to enjoy, but like you said, most important is taking care of others and nature. Otherwise we fall into chaos. 😊
What a great Post and I am so glad you are enjoying your self. Stay out as long as you can

Sandra, your words are the perfect expression of your experience and only you can write them. I am encouraged and inspired. The subject of this post made my spirit leap, refreshing in the days where the world continually swings toward love of self and away from Reality. Thank you for being a rain-filled cloud and a true witness. With your permission I would like to feature your blog in a post and on my site. I’ll make sure to do right by you. Thank you, and keep writing! 🌱
Thank you very much Rachel, I appreciate your beautiful thoughtful words. Yes, you definitely can share any or all of my words. They are not mine to keep but to share with others who might read them and spark some kind of deep thought or joy in their own spirits. Thank you again and have a wonderful day.
Hi Sandra! This is wonderful news! Thank you for the opportunity. I’ll be sure to share the link when your feature is written. 😁
Simply beautiful.
Thank you very much Mary.
Sandra, your photos do speak volumes but I think you undersell the beauty of your written words. Often I read what you have written and think, “Wow, she’s clearly expressed things I’ve observed but couldn’t articulate.” This post is the perfect example. I hope you, your husband, and pups continue to enjoy your road adventure.
Thank you very much Beth, I appreciate that. My photos speak to me as well, more so the thoughts given to me by our Father when I sit down to write a post. He has a way of inspiring all of us with His bountiful creation He puts around us. I see that within your words as well. 😊

Lovely flowers. Do I see snow remnants?
No snow, but it has been chilly. 😊
Oh Sandra this is such a touching post! Travel Well!
Thank you very much 😊
Congratulations, Sandra, on your decision to follow the path where your hearts are leading you – a true sense of freedom. And we derive the benefit of seeing your great photos and inspired words. Don
Thank you very much Don, one learns to follow the heart sometimes in our older age, when we realize listening to it is better than listening to man. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
After the rain comes back the clear sky and with it the flowers
Yes, there will always be clear skies after the rain. Thank you. 😊
Sure it’s a relief not having to shovel snow.
Here’s to more 70 degrees weather for you and hope you have a fabulous weekend.
Thank you very much, 😊
You may not think you’re the best writer, but this post proves you’re pretty darn good, in addition to being a fantastic photographer. Keep it up!
Thank you very much, I do appreciate your kind words. 😊
Well stated. I especially like your last photo. Some days reality is whatever the voice in your head or the whatever blog/radio/television/YouTube voices tell you. Do we reboot or just boot up the butt?
Thank you, yes reboot or just boot up the butt, yep I like that. 🙂 have a great weekend.
I’m glad it amused you–I was afraid it might be getting close to crossing a line.
Naw, if we can’t laugh life becomes very boring. 😅😉
Beautiful post thank you for your kind words and I love these flowers 🌸 and a 💥🙋♀️

You to Rudi, thank you.
Beautiful photos
I loved reading your post Sandra. And the pictures are beautiful.
Thank you very much 😊
A deep and thoughtful muse Sandra. How we see who we are and where we come from has a direct influence on how we live and the respect and integrity we have for ourselves and others. As person thinks so they are. Proverbs 23:7 Oh yes and the flowers are beautiful their bright beaming faces cry: ” I rejoice that God made me !”
Thank you, yes I like that, I rejoice that God made me. 😊
Have a great weekend too!
Thank you Gerry. 😊
