Good morning sunrise
Walking in nature’s garden—
Sunset shares her peace
Enjoy life’s journey
Nature’s melody plays on—
Blessed harmony
Day’s energy wanes
Setting sun’s refreshing drink—
Twilight standing still
Each dollar now counts
Inflation deflates wallet—
Misery for all
World of tiny bursts
One sound bite’s information—
Where’s rest of story?
Undaunted voices
Place country over party—
Profiles in courage
Midnight sky awakes
Milky Way explodes with dreams—
Hang on to each star
Remaining patient
Sometimes life comes full circle—
Second chance arrives
Trapped in harsh desert
Mountain of perseverance—
Thirst finally quenched
Beauty without words
Stirring each silent chorus—
Morning’s sunrise beams
Chilly summer night
Hint of early autumn dreams—
Calendar page turns
Woven together
Composing her melodies—
Harmony praising
Harmony playing
Creation’s sounds of silence—
Nature awakens
Mountainous canyon
Echoing harmony’s past—
Cherishing secrets
Abandoned homestead
Empty, nightly harmony—
Never forgotten
Lone grocery store
Bags filled with conversation—
Open every day
Main Street’s hardware store
Meeting neighbors face-to-face—
Day’s gathering place
Mealtime’s Joy Delights
Cozy diner greets
Town’s most favorite hang-out–
Morning, noon, and night
All of these morning photographs were taken at two different Metro Parks (Walnut Woods and Chestnut Ridge) in central Ohio, not far from my home. I frequently walk both of these areas.
Morning awakens
Creation’s treasures stirring—
Lord above smiling
Season to season
Witnessing every change—
Praise God’s masterpiece
Nature never rests
Flora and fauna’s beauty—
Creator molding
Driving hidden roads
How did we ever get lost?
GPS offline
Back to the office
In-basket overflowing—
Is it Friday yet?
Boss tells teenager
Need to use more elbow grease—
What on earth is that?
Harsh rhetoric harms
Angry political camps—
Nation tears apart
Division falls back
Country must always come first—
Democracy breathes
Conflict’s stormy waves
Navigating nation’s course—
Finding common ground
Express gratitude
Sincere appreciation—
Send handwritten note
Night’s quiet moments
Preparing for tomorrow—
Embrace our blessings
Life’s endless highway
Patience and perseverance—
Journey of waiting
