Beautiful flowers.
G-d made them for us.
Soft petals.
Magnificent colors.
Fresh sweet smells.
The sound of rustling in the wind.
Absorbing the rays of sunshine.
Drinking the rain water.
Planted in the soil of the earth.
Magical flowers of life, love, and peace.

Panorama: Ocean and Beach
Thought this was pretty cool...
Panorama of Ocean and Beach.
Made it look the the ocean is in between the beach.
Love the "special effect."
Feels a little like Moshes who led the Israelites through the (Red) Sea.
Anyway, nice to get away a little and see life through a different lens. ;-)
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach!

Swimming In Florida
In lovely Florida.
Hit the swimming pool.
About to do my laps.
I got my gear and ready to rock and roll.
Please G-d, we'll spend the Jewish holiday of Shavuot (commemorating when we got the Torah) together here as a family.
What more can I ask.
Happy and grateful. ;-)

Simple And Beautiful
Thought this was a nice touch on the table.
Just a simple drinking glass with a little water on the bottom and these three beautiful flowers inside.
Pink, Yellow, Orange.
So simple, yet so beautiful.
Maybe that's the point. ;-)

See You Later Florida
Love coming to Florida.
Not a far flight.
Sun shines bright.
Water is blue.
Birds, fish, and animals like a zoo.
Nature is peaceful.
Shopping is plentiful.
Activities day and night.
Swimming makes me feel right.
Go to the beach.
Eat a peach.
Florida is the place to be.

Flower Petals In Water
G-d's creations are so wondrous and marvelous.
Frankly, I find it hard to comprehend how He made everything so gorgeous.
There are plenty of challenges for us in this world to keep us learning and growing.
But truly, I love that there is some Garden of Eden paradise in this world too. ;-)

She captured me doing my laps.
Enjoying the sunshine.
Breathing in the fresh air.
Appreciating the beautiful flowers.
Loving the pool and water.
Thank you so much for this great picture!

Bored Meetings
So it's been raining so much here in the DC area lately.
The result is that the hot Summer July temperatures are down in the cool 70's and the rain is flooding everywhere.
When I got in the elevator this morning, someone goes to me:
"Did you see the leak in the hallway? They are watering the tree with it."
And sure enough, there it was!
When all this rain finally stops, there is going to be a lot of cleanup and repairs to do.
The other thing was yesterday, we were on the way to a board meeting in our synagogue.
In the elevator, are two other people--a man and women--carrying binders.
They say to us:
"Are you going to the board meeting?"
Surprised, because I didn't recognize them from our synagogue, I respond affirmatively and ask to clarify:
"Oh, you're going to the board meeting too? I don't recall seeing you there before."
Then the elevator stops and they start to get off--but it's to a different board meeting for the building.
When they see that we're going to a different floor, they start laughing:
"I guess we're going to different board meetings!"
I say:
"Yeah that's right, different board meetings, but we'll all probably be bored!
Another laugh by everyone, and we we're all off to the races. ;-)

Rain From Heaven
Took this photo yesterday in the courtyard during a thunderstorm.
It is the first time that I was actually able to see the rain almost in a slow motion.
They weren't drops, but literally streaks of water zipping down from the sky.
The feeling was so pure and refreshing to clean the air and the ground.
To replenish our reservoirs, ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
To nourish the fruit of the Earth and make it grow.
We use up and make dirty, but G-d replenishes and makes clean! ;-)

Every Time I Go Mexico
First, we went for a nice kayak boat ride around the lake.
Then I couldn't help stopping and listening to this relaxing and peaceful music.
These guys were great--I'd pay to listen to them.
Just a bunch of friends getting together to play beautiful music.
This is life as it should be. ;-)

What's With The Water
At this time of some major hurricanes hitting the USA (first Harvey, and now approaching IRMA and Jose)...
I have been remembering from the other day when I was in the pool, but I had a very different experience from usual.
Yes, I was swimming hard and disciplined doing my laps.
But my mind decided to focus on the water.
Just the water...nothing else.
I literally blanked out the world around me...no pool, no exercise, no other people, no current events, no random thoughts.
I just put all my senses unto the water itself.
The cool softness of the water as it glided over my hands and body.
The subtle resistance of the water, yet the buoyancy it provided.
The waves and current as the water flowed around my body moving crisply through it.
The healing purity of the water physically and spiritually.
I imagined the clearest and cleanest water, and how it quenches our thirst and washes everything in the world clean again.
Water, earth, wind and fire...the wisdom and perfection of them and us cannot possibly be random events, but they are testament to the genius of our Creator.
Thank you G-d especially for the water in the time, place, and amount that is for a blessing--and as a series of strong hurricanes continue to roar towards your people, let it be merciful.

Rain Spill On Building
Just thought this was a really interesting photo.
The way the rain splattered down the side of this building.
The water hitting only on top and then trickling down the side like a big spill.
"The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain," but in Washington, D.C., it falls down the side of the buildings in these weird artistic patterns.
When I was a kid, I remember when it rained, my father would tell me positively and jokingly, "Ah, we're getting a free car wash today!"
Isn't it amazing how G-d made the world where it rains, and provides us not only the water to drink and sustain ourselves, but literally a shower to clean our cities and wash away the dirty excesses.
The ecosystem is just an amazing array of literally everything we need and with checks and balances to keep the goings-on of the world suitable for His children. ;-)
