Days 10-15

It was bound to happen eventually, this falling off the wagon thing whenever it comes to me doing anything that is supposed to become a daily habit.

Borne of chaos, I am NOT a creature of habit and am constantly, {more often than not, fruitlessly}, striving towards routine and structure, only to abandon any purposeful or intentional endeavors for a more reactive, in-the-moment existence...that usually bites me hard, too.

Preamble aside, I'm behind in my pictures, so without further ado, here they are:

day 8: angle

From our hiking trip in Rocky Mtn. Nat'l Park a couple of weeks ago, I love me a little bit of leaning trees ;)

 

day 7: light

The sunrise outside my east facing back door is seen more often now than ever before in my life, due to the whole middle school schedule.  {what brainiac determined that it was a stellar idea to get adolescents up at dawn to begin their days, anyway?}

I thought the street lamp looked lovely in the midst of the blue and orange sky {which, btw, was quite something this morning...the sunrises tend to be much rosier in hue around here - these colors are often reserved for what we call Broncos sunsets} and snapped a pic.

Nothing hugely insightful today ;)

 

day 3: this happened today

So, you can't really tell, but the wind was blowing those leaves HARD when I snapped this.  And that cloud in the background?  Just got bigger and darker as the gusts pushed it in.

We were sitting at a nice 80ish degree day with an occasional breeze, and over the course of the next couple hours, dropped a whopping 40 degrees.

Light Up the Sky

Woke up this morning to a beautiful sunrise (thankfully the sun is rising later than o'dark-thirty - near 7ish - or else I'd have missed this gorgeous celestial display)

 You light up the sky to show me that you are with me

No I can't deny that you and right here with me

 LORD, our Lord, 

   how majestic is your name in all the earth!

   You have set your glory 

   in the heavens

When I consider your heavens,    

the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars,    

which you have set in place, 

what is mankind that You are mindful of them,    

human beings that You care for them?

More stunning photos are seen on Julie's blog.  (She's much better with a camera than me)  

And this video, is just awesome, watch as the skies came to life:

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature...
