.:stopping by woods on a snowy evening:.


Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
~Robert Frost




It started snowing. thats a picture outside front door. 
Thats it. I dont have much to say on the matter. Im a sunshine girl. But during winter months i do think much more often on poetry. Robert Frost is one of my favorites since i was a little girl. I still have my first poetry book of his. You come too.  It was a scholastic book. I guess its incentive to get some snow shoes, and go to the mountains. Brad skis and snowboards
but i never have. Ill do this first.

..:beautiful shadowed seacoast:..

Well. Now that ive officially done a blog, i guess i should make a correction. in actual meaning, orabelle means beautiful seacoast.  for my first blog i wanted simplicity. and i did that. its still correct but thinking about, im okay with a little mystery and enchantment as well. well so orabelle : beautiful seacoast, ombre: shadow, makes to me, a beautiful shadowed seacoast.. captivating right?
I have pictures in my mind constantly. Whether they are of a beautiful image shown above or a piece of art from either an amateur or professional. The tilt of head or the expression on a face. it can be mesmerizing trying to imagine what the person is thinking or feeling. Some may say its just a picture. To me it is expression. Could be of many things. of love, despair, joy, fear. Its also the feeling the images evoke. Such as when you view the above picture taken from http://www.julietmarillier.com For me its longing, serenity. Maybe those feelings contradict each other. I feel a longing to be there breathing the fresh air with green literally in the wind. The serenity of the water lapping at the edge, the sound trickling in my heart. Yes, images invade my waking mind. I think its where a person can soar in imagination. I wonder what you feel when you see this picture? 
Maybe next time ill share some of my favorite art from my two favorite artists, and my reasons behind why they are my favorite. Till next time.....

.:beautiful shadow:.

.:beautiful shadow:.

orabelle means beautiful. ombre means shadow. I've never made a blog before, but i thought it would be a fun way beyond all of the other social networking sites that i could stay close to the ones that i love that are far away and also share a bit about myself that they may or may not know about me....I hope you all enjoy , but also that i find some enjoyment as well. Lately it has been very important to me to try to stay true to myself and what i know and believe to be right. Its about feeling confident in who i am am. Not proving myself to anyone. Except for my faith and devotion to Jehovah, and not because others will see but because it is who i am. Simply. Not out of malice or stubbornness, but a desire to be stress free. It is my choice to have my own opinions and likes and dislikes. Anyone joining me here can always do the same and always kindly remember to receive the same from others as well......
okay. done. 
Above is a picture of olivia de Havilland in The Adventures of Robin Hood. This is one of my favorite movies and if you have never seen it you need to find a copy and watch it. Have you ever seen Disney's Robin Hood? That was based off of this 1938 film. Its beautiful and joyful. so i thought it fitting for my first post about myself. Enjoy.......
