Fall’s colors blooming
Beauty consuming
Snow’s forecast looming
October’s surprise
Brightest leaves falling
Autumn’s paintballing
Is winter calling?
October’s surprise
Fall’s brilliance waning
Winter’s clouds reigning
Snowflakes now painting
October’s surprise
Season’s change scheming
White landscape beaming
Autumn daydreaming
October’s surprise
Leaves’ colors grieving
Wintertime leaving
Fall still believing
October’s surprise
Transition’s river
Creation’s tireless seasons—
Lasting ebb and flow
Blessed reminder
Painting life’s daily landscape—
Creator’s witness
So much to enjoy
Waiting again to blossom—
Steady persistence
Greeting darkness
Life’s constant foe
Silent journey
Absent shadow
Hidden purpose
Never speaking
Winter too long
Cold floor creaking
Blackness escapes
Bright light prevails
Time’s transition
Finding new trails
Hello sunshine
Life’s steadfast friend
Catching each smile
Day shall ascend
Sunglasses on
Joy filling heart
Now to catch up
Summer’s fun starts
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
Flying high above
Gray sky’s lonely sentinel—
Solitary spy
Unchecked challenges
Emotional behavior—
Nature spills over
Season to season
Creation’s precious treasures—
Never growing old
Mankind hurtles toward unknown
Nature’s seasons relay what’s known
Autumn prepares for transition
Holding off winter’s ambition
Both man and nature look ahead
Unearthing their most common thread
At times, life needs relaxing pause
Forsaking bright lights and applause
Terrain changes to snowy scene
Covering life white, without green
Man growls at cold, numbing weather
Spotting fireplace, warm together
Winter’s snowfall hiding its gems
Waiting for newest, greenest stems
Spring awakens frozen landscape
Encouraging life’s next escape
Man and nature again feel free
Twinkling eyes find each budding tree
Creator’s Spirit, love transcends
Seasons eternal, never end
World turns upside down
Equinox flips earth’s seasons—
Hemispheres apart
Eager autumn colors
Summer still hanging around—
Knocking at the door
Fall’s preparation
Life’s transition to winter—
Glorious spring waits
From Ecclesiastes 3:1: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”
Winter’s dormant, gray months
Nature taking her break
Gathering strength for spring
Life’s welcoming handshake
People face frozen times
Seeking spirit’s rebirth
Darkness returns to light
New season blesses earth
Summer’s shining moments
Nature’s blooming color
Autumn’s blessed pause waits
Hourglass sand grows smaller
Happiness seeks to shine
Hope filling eager hearts
Spirit nurtures man’s faith
Risen Lord, life restarts
Through nature’s creation
Breathing with perfect poise
Order to life itself
God’s divine plan deploys
Life’s transition wakens
Rising sun shares reasons
Joy, sorrow, gain, or loss
Renewing fresh seasons
From Genesis 8:22: “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”
Winds no longer blow
From cold Arctic ice
Snow stays far to north
Winter pays her price
Days growing longer
Nature now smiling
Winter’s time shall pass
Spring begins dialing
Nature’s busy tone
Some days, springtime halts
Hibernation plays
Winter’s final waltz
Trees wait with patience
Soon nature will green
Sun replacing clouds
Spring’s finest cuisine
Seasons come and go
Nature makes her call
Time for winter’s end
Spring’s voice now enthralls
From Ecclesiastes 3:1: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”
Winter’s snow, cannot hide
Cherished love, deep inside
During darkness of night
Her love shines, always bright
Spring’s blossoms, love shares
Life’s newness, always cares
Nature wakens, each land
Her splendor, in God’s hands
Summer’s glowing spirit
Longing to walk near it
Love growing, day by day
Her grandeur comes this way
Autumn’s colored venue
Love fills each day’s menu
Landscape treasures each thrill
Her warmth hides winter’s chill
Seasons, patient with time
Faith grows, ever in rhyme
Righteous gifts, sing as hymns
Father’s love, never dims
From Lamentations 3:22-24: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in Him.'”
