Day’s End – Part 02

A beautiful sunset is such a great way to mark a day’s end. For me it’s beauty always inspires a sense of awe and joy. At that moment it feels good just to be alive. One more gift from the Creator to be grateful for. A gift that is available for any who make the

Synergy

I picked today’s image because of the amazing color, the pattern of the branches, and the green of trees in the background. Each element adding to the collective beauty of the image. At its best our world is a glorious place when all of its elements work in harmony. It is a difficult place when any

Disagreeing but Not Disagreeable

Today’s image is another example of local color. This image was taken along the road that winds around Colonie Center Mall.  Our Creator has blessed us with beauty and the creative capability of being able to transplant it from one place to another. Today’s image taken yesterday also reminds me that the beauty of Fall

Creeping Beauty

Vines add color to the Fall landscape against the brown of a tree trunk and the bright blue sky. Once again God’s Creation forms an image any artist would be proud to create. Our Creator has blessed us with a world full of images to delight the eye and stir our creativity. A blessing that

Rose Garden 2023 – Part 03

Niagara Falls Revisited – Part 6

Today’s image is of an area of Niagara Falls known as the Canadian Rapids.  The bridge in the background connects the US and Canada. This picture reminds me of the fact that the resources of our planet are shared by many nations.  It also speaks of the need for the nations of the world to

Ausable Point – Part 1

Looking across Lake Champlain from Ausable Point at a glorious cloud filled sky and the Green Mountains of Vermont.  Lake Champlain is an interesting body of water in that the border between Vermont and New York is in the middle of the lake.  It is also interesting that from Vermont you view New York’s Adirondack

Back to Basics

Today’s image is of a waterfall in Robert Treman State Park in Ithaca, NY.  It is one of over 2,000 waterfalls in New York State. They come in all sizes and shapes from tall narrow cascades to large falls over which huge volumes of water flow creating a roar.  There is something awesome about the
