Bright and Beautiful
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful

Each little flower that opens
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colours
He made their tiny wings

A Foggy Friday Morning
This morning I gave a ride to my neighbor, as I do from time to time, to a farm east of here where he works. Dense fog rolled in over night, shrinking the view to what was at hand. Up for a challenge, I tossed my camera in the car thinking I might find something interesting on the way home. Here’s what I found.
Interesting to me and hopefully to you …

Sometimes…
Perpetual gray
Even amid bright sunshine
Gray is all we see
Sometimes…
Yet…
Sometimes…
Something surprises
Nudging our gloom to delight
Our winter to spring
