Inspirational Weekend - Photos and Videos to Soothe the Spirit (Flowers, Scenery and More)

"Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest." - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe


Here is wishing you a very happy weekend !  I have been very busy painting lately, among other things; rather like the busy bee below: (Yes, I meant to repeat the word "busy" for emphasis!)

I took this photograph here in Hawaii of this bee inside a Cereus flower, otherwise known as the night blooming cactus.  All of the photos on this post were taken by me;  the videos are from other sources.  If you are a flower lover you will enjoy the following video of time-lapses of flowers blooming.   

This was taken from the Makapu'u Lighthouse on the Windward side of Oahu, Hawaii.  It is looking towards Sea Life Park area and Makapu'u Beach and other beaches.

A waterfall at Descanso Gardens outside of Los Angeles, California.    Below is a video of tranquil streams with relaxing music to calm and soothe you.

A beautiful nature video follows which includes soft music.

Sometimes we just need to stop, drop everything, and spend time away from our hectic schedules doing whatever it takes to relax and unwind.   I hope the above photos and videos helped accomplish that with you.  The funny animal video below will make you laugh out loud.  We need lots of laughter in our lives to be healthy.

Inspirational Weekend - Photos and Videos to Inspire - Michigan Fall Foliage and More

"Lift up your eyes on high.  And behold Who hath created these things......"  - Isaiah 40:26

My intentions for this blog was for it to be inspirational and primarily about nature.   Perhaps some posts were more inspirational than others.   I am going to begin, as of now, to have a special post on weekends to soothe and calm the spirit  that will hopefully inspire you and also to include something to make you smile as well.   The above photograph was taken not far from Jackson, Michigan, and the same is true of  my other photographs shown here.

Even these fall flowers, some of which are fading and dying, can have a special beauty to them in this time of transition for them.   Oh, how people ought to be the same way !  That they, when in times of stress and hardships, let the peace of God dominate their inner being and thereby reflect their Creator in what they say and do and in their calmness of spirit.

Below is a short video showcasing Fall color in Michigan.

Below are more of my photographs:

Have a happy weekend, everyone !   Below is a video that many of you may have already viewed, but I wanted to save it here so here goes...... This is guaranteed to make you smile, even laugh out loud. And a merry heart is medicine to the soul.
