moon oft reminds
mystery sublime
mother for very first time
father full of Abba’s duty

star rising east
pales moon mist clouded
heavens foretell life shrouded
my heart weeps for their unseen loss

Bethlehem hills
as donkey nears gate
careful of rider’s slight weight
seem to call tired trio home

tis birthing eve
journey now distilled
parents’ vows will be fulfilled
manger and promised birth await

Christmas Blessings to you this night and all through the year

Here is a red, red rose for all of you my viewer friends.
I found this beauty in a friend’s garden this afternoon.

Autumn osprey: flashing accent of feathers and fish against the fall foliage.
The migrant osprey was out fishing again this morning.
There is an injury at the tip of his right wing, but he doesn’t seem to notice it.
He is very efficient at his fishing and often pulls large fish out of the river.
He proudly showed me his catch as he left out over the dam.

At 07:36:46 this morning I was brilliantly reminded of the symmetry of the universe.
Sol’s light pierced the leaves of the trees and gave me a octagonal view of earth’s star.
