There’s something about the sun that fascinates and teases the imagination. Then comes that rare moment when an image of it is captured, and you realize your imagination can’t begin to be compared with reality. While sitting on the beach at the State Park in Holland, Michigan today, I watched the clouds flirt with the…

These little insights come in an odd assortment of colors, sizes and shapes and from sources we couldn’t dream up.Today, as my daughter-in-law, Savannah, and I took our morning walk, I noticed something glimmering on the ground.

Clearly Unusual Clouds…

All spring and summer I headed out with my Sony camera, hoping to capture my favorite insect-the dragonfly. But their capricious antics and sudden darts and dives and refusal to land anywhere for more than a second, left me without a picture.

Out of Sync
Ever felt very insignificant? Out of sync? Invisible? Lost in the crowd? That was me today. Devastating circumstances lashed out against my faith and convictions, and all I could do was listen until I was alone and able to let the tears flow. My faith is solid, founded on the Rock, Jesus Christ. The Truth…
