Sunrise Variations

Image
  The sun was scheduled to rise at 7:15 am last Tuesday. I stood on the boardwalk in the cold blustery morning along with the Eastern sky, watching ... shivering … waiting … eager.  We were not disappointed. The day arrived in splendor,  with magnificence, and breathed fresh hope in my heart.   I pray that you enjoy these sunrise variations as much as I enjoyed capturing them on film! Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy. Psalm 65:8 (NLT)   Photos: Oceanfront Virginia Beach, Va .

New Year's Eve 2010

Image
On eve of the New Year, I visited my two favorite spots. Both were still covered with leftover snow from the 14.2” snowfall that had fallen the weekend before, Beauty  in each remained evident: an American Coot and Double Crested Cormorant wait for unsuspecting minnows or catfish to complete their evening meal ... winter grass peeking through disappearing snow ... Friendship Pond partially masked in glazed ice. As usual, the splendor of nature never fails to evoke awe in my heart. Father, as another New Year approaches, may I never be too busy to stop, to look, to listen,and to enjoy the beauty of all that you have created,                                       In Jesus name,                                                       Amen!   Photos: Mt.
