”Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun. You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter.“
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭74‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Last week, you may recall, our sunrise pic was provided by Pam, who took a short golf cart ride before sunrise and captured a super nice photo. That same morning, I left out before daylight and traveled about one half mile, climbed a steep ridge in the dark, and arrived on top before sunup. This is my cell phone photo. There was just too much effort for me not to display my work…although hers was much better, mine was somewhat different!READ MORE

“It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭10‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I must give credit where credit is due; Pam took a golf cart ride yesterday before sunrise and sent me a pic to verify. I had taken a hike up the ridge about a half mile away. There weren’t any clouds around, but what a picturesque scene with architectural interest provided by bare trees and cedar trees in the foreground! (And Pam got to hear a turkey gobble; so exciting…to me anyway)

”How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.“
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I so enjoyed a hike early last week on a cold afternoon. I walked a path that I don’t travel as often as I should. I was simply wanting to take in winter scenes and decided to head east. It was about 30 degrees, but the pics probably make it look a bit warmer. The thorns on this rogue Bradford pear are really noticeable in January!READ MORE
