Like a great ring of pure and endless light

Photo Challenge: Spare
Say, don’t you remember, they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Why don’t you remember, I’m your pal
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?

Photo Challenge: Earth
“To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves a riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold—brothers who know now they are truly brothers.”
— Archibald MacLeish, American Poet
It never ceases to amaze me to watch the earth pass below as I sit comfortably in an airplane gazing at the landscape before me.
“The Earth was small, light blue, and so touchingly alone, our home that must be defended like a holy relic.
— Aleksei Leonov, Russian Cosmonaut

Photo Challenge: Future–of Democracy Depends on Citizen Participation
This quote serves as our inspiration for the Word Press Weekly Photo Challenge:
“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
– Peter F. Drucker
Participation in civic life is paramount to support a healthy democracy. Whatever issue is important to you, it’s time to get involved to change the future. Elected officials must represent us rather than direct the policy decisions to citizens.

Photo Challenge: Half-Light
When I think of half-light, I recall “Twilight Time,” sung by The Platters, and written by Buck Ram.
Heavenly shades of night are falling, it’s twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, it’s twilight time
When purple colored curtains mark the end of day
I’ll hear you, my dear, at twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you’re here with me
Together at last at twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the same and sweet old way, I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
