David speaking: ( this is interesting that the Psalms were probably written over a period of 1,000 years, beginning with Moses and ending with Jannaeus 78 BC)
Psalm 24:1
‘ The earth is the Lord’s , and the fulness of it, the world, and all of us who live in it.’ Psalm 24 :1
And then, with three quotes for me this new year, 2025, travelling with the word walls:
‘ The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keep out the joy.’
Jim Rohn
‘ A person can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, darkness on the walls of his cell.’
C. S. Lewis
‘ The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenements’ walls and whispered in the sounds of silence.’
Paul Simon
A visit to Lagos
Here is what is said about this town in Portugals Algarve region:
Walled old town
Atlantic beaches
Steep wooden steps
Headland views and a light house. ( I didn’t notice this light house, but that is me!)
Let us see if we find these. We visited the town before and after Christmas so I wasn’t there today! I have gotten behind in my posting.








Then, not on the list we started with was a plant. Many stopped to look at. It was growing on a tumbling cliff with enormous buds and flowers.



Glossy leaves, large yellow flowers with all parts of the plant poisonous.

as well as the cliffs .
One in watercolour the other in acrylic.
Both on the striped dish cloth that hangs at the door.

Always have a windbreaker and another layer.
I pray we will all have a good 2025!
Take care,
Sandy.

Happy New Year from South Africa. Glad you got to spend it in such a lovely place!
Thank you. 😊
I like the Hawaiian Lily. I will have to look for those.
They seem to grow very well and quickly in the warmth.
What a lovely trip you are having my friend! I love reading about your adventures
Thank you . I enjoyed your sunset from the UK. The weather news from there was so bad that I was pleased to see it.🤗
