Orange moon rising

"There is one glory of the sun, and another glory
of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for 
star differs from star in glory." 
(1 Corinthians 15:41)


When an excited friend called to ask if I'd seen the moon, I grabbed both cameras, ran to my balcony, and took dozens of shots.  Sadly, none of them did justice to the amazing sight of a full orange moon emerging from behind the trees, but these were the best of the lot.

Celebrating five years

Today is this blog's fifth anniversary, and to celebrate, I'm posting pictures of some lovely flowers I saw at Costco.  Enjoy!

As I snapped away, an elderly gentleman approached me and joked about how much cheaper it was to take pictures of flowers than it is to buy them.  I agreed, adding that they last a lot longer too.

A colorful bouquet

"The grass withers, the flower fades, but
 the word of our God stands forever." 
(Isaiah 40:8)



A friend arrived for lunch with a bouquet of very colorful flowers.  We speculated about how they had gotten their hues, and our guess was later confirmed when the water they were standing in turned pink.

Through my window

"He gives  rain on the earth,
And sends water on the fields."
(Job 5:10)





Watching icy rain turn melting snow into very slippery slush made me extra grateful for my nice warm apartment. 



























































The plants on my windowsill must be happy too, because they seem to be thriving despite the cold outside.
