Wild Is The Sun ...


“God made a home in the sky for the sun;
it comes out in the morning
like a happy bridegroom,
like an athlete eager to run a race.
It starts at one end of the sky
and goes across to the other.
Nothing can hide from its heat.”
  ~ The Holy Bible
  ~ Psalm 19: 4-6
Shining with a wild beauty – looking more like the moon than the sun – the orange-tinged sun holds court in a hazy, milky sky over Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania on September 15, 2020.

Wildfire smoke from the West Coast caused the sky to appear as it did as sunset neared in the waning summer. Since the smoke was at the altitude where planes fly – around 30,000 feet – it could be seen but people could not smell it, and there were no air quality issues.

Scent Of Light ...


"I will love the light for it shows me the way,
yet I will endure the darkness for it 
shows me the stars."
                    ~ Og Mandino
                             1923-1996

The summer sun filters through a beautiful
tiger lily, ablaze like a fiery jewel on a June
evening at Trexler Memorial Park, 
Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Heaven's Rays ...


"Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself."
                          ~ Desiderius Erasmus
                                                        ~ 1466-1536

Sun rays reach down from from heaven
to touch the Monocacy Falls, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
after a summer rain.
