America, The Beautiful Lyrics
by Katharine Lee Bates - 1913


O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain, <<gack>> LOL, J/K
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!l

O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine!

O Beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

earworm for the day.

Breath-taking. I have never seen such yellow in the sky! No wonder they call Cali "the golden state".

Thank you, CG. It was pretty awesome.

WOW Cheryl......that picture could be in Sunset Magazine.

Submit a photo to Sunset magazine - Sunset

Thanks, Kay. Wow, I had forgotten about Sunset magazine! I didn't know they had a place for reader submitted photos. I used to subscribe, then over the years I had kind of forgotten about it. Thanks for re-igniting my interest....I put it in my faves. If I remember correctly, they had some really good recipes as well.

Actually I had kind of forgotten about Sunset Magazine also until I saw your picture.....Sunset was/is the magazine of the west, a little like Southern Living for the south, but more.

Sunset Magazine still exists?

Sunset Magazine still exists?

Sure does. My foot doctor has it in his office and they are up to date. They are not old issues. Depending on how brilliant I feel when I go there, I either pick up Sunset or a kids magazine while I am waiting, because I know I can do their puzzles and win.

Just out of curiosity - more what?

 

[Kayelle]

Just out of curiosity - more what?

More sunset pictures over the ocean.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

You mean we don't take those type of pictures in MA?

 

[GotGarlic]

My reply went missing! We have more pretty sunrise pix here on the East Coast but I'm too lazy to get up and take them

 

[taxlady]

I'm going to guess that there are more actual photos taken of sunsets than of sunrises.

Another sunset pic, a friend took it from our balcony in Mexico:

[TATTRAT]

here are some sunsets/sunrises

 

[GotGarlic]

I love the colors, especially when there are clouds.

 

[Kayelle]

I love the colors, especially when there are clouds.

Yes, a lot like a beautiful life.

To have a beautiful sunset there must be clouds.

Sometimes I surprise even myself the way beautiful sunsets inspire me.

Creative, that's a grat pic of a colorful flower.

 

[Andy M.]

The Starburst Lily is one of my favorites.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

creative, is that gorgeous flower from your lovingly tended garden bed?

I'm going to guess that there are more actual photos taken of sunsets than of sunrises.

Seems like whenever we take a sunrise photo it's on our way TO bed.

 

[Andy M.]

Ye, they're all over the place. I got SO some bulbs because she really liked them. We have a lot of lilies in her garden.
