Bar Refaeli

Goodness, not only is Bar the babe of all babes, but is my most favorite model!  Swimsuit or not, this Israeli bombshell is quite the stunning lady.  Lovely curves and all, she continues to be my inspiration, even if it isn’t summer!

no shoes, no shirt, no problem

summer breeze, summer long, i’ll sing you my summer song

Summer season brings
Colors to the face of earth
As season’s birds sings

Summer season is
Warmest of all the seasons
Weaving dreams of bliss

Season of summer
Fills heart and soul with laughter
Like blooming flower

Summer brings shimmer
By benevolence of nature
In beams of glimmer

Summer’s arrival
Signals fun and festivals
And soul’s revival

Summer is warmer
Shining brighter is the sun
Solace is water

Summer’s diverse sounds
Is the nature’s symphony
Without doubt astounds

Summer is the best
To feel the comfort of breeze
Which needs no attest

Summer is the peak
For the soul of sun to shine
And it is unique

Summer is for fun
Soaking in sweat and water
And is never done

Summer holidays
Sprinkles delight everywhere
In so many ways

Summer is the time
To think of spring and autumn
As it is sublime

Quotes of the Day:

Quotes of the Day:

Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. –Theodore Roosevelt

The present is the point at which time touches eternity. –C.S. Lewis

“I reflect on what I see but sometimes missing what I actually see. I think we can’t see what we want because we are blinded by something greater.  It’s unfortunate that this happens but our hearts and minds speak at different volumes. So which to listen to?  I think the right answer is when we find not only peace in our hearts, but also in our minds.  When we do find ourselves caught up in fields of never-ending forest, we shall remove the covering from our eyes, and look–as we look and seek, we shall find.”

“If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
then of course I’ll feel nude when to where I’m destined I’m compared”
