Winter

I got to enjoy a bike ride along our river’s greenway. Even though it was cold, still I enjoyed the trees, water and some wildlife. Without their leaves, you can really see the actual shapes of the trees, especially the beautiful old sycamore trees with all their white bark. Also got to watch some mallard ducks trolling for food in the river. Also, check out the video above on my youtube channel at https://youtu.be/ZrjWsbPNLOY Have a blessed day!


Winter

Winter's beauty
Owns its own allures
Exhibited in true joys
Although not as green
As luscious summer's toys
But still entertaining
Desiring also our
Approval to be gaining
For remember after all
Tis the mighty hand of God
Creates its chilly framing
And it's rampant charms 
Oh so most beguiling

Autumn’s Flames

I was blessed enough to be able to ride my bike today on our Greenway System along the river and see some of the leaves on the trees starting to change colors. Even though it was a little cloudy they were still beautiful! Wrote a quick poem about it and hope you enjoy.

Autumn Flames

Fiery flames
Never meant to be contained
Mixed among the greens
The cooler colors
Still your sisters, brothers
Meant to complement one another

Your warmer tones
Float over my head 
& I do not have to enjoy
Your beauty all alone
Others, they stop
Breezes, they blow
Carrying your leaves
To skip, to hop
Over each & every stone

So take some time
After you’ve finished my 
Pale rhyme
Enjoy your day
& take the time to stay
Caught in autumn’s 
Fiery flames!

Love This Time of Year!

I love this time of year. You can always tell it’s spring when it is warm enough for the turtles to sunbath on the rocks. I ride my bike along our greenway system on the riverbank. The first fresh green of baby leaves on the trees is coming out good, and I got to take a photo of some of the new blooms on the wildflowers. I hope you can get outside this spring to enjoy the beauty of our God’s wonderful creation. May God bless your day and spring!!

Spring!!

Spring seems to finally be here! I love to see the beautiful flowering trees. Plus it’s amazing to see what a difference an overnight rain makes along our river greenway system. It’s normally just a trickle in some spots but a little rain brings it to almost over the large bridges and over some of the smaller ones. I caught a shot of some kids enjoying walking in the river water that had just barely covered a small bridge. I warned them to be careful. Don’t know if it did any good or not.

Summer Sounds

I love the walk along our city’s greenway. It’s right on the river, and you get to hear the water and all the animals, bugs and sights that go along with all of the place. Here’s only a short video of some of the sight and sounds I managed to capture along with a short poem. Hope you enjoy!

Summer Sounds

Oh the joy of those
Summer sounds
Of water, birds, bugs
All types of critters on the ground

Of water roaring in its strength
Or just a lazier hot day’s trickle
Of this I will not dare to be fickle
I love all of this summer’s show

Try to take a break
From your daily rush
Do not let this world
On your soul’s wellbeing
Force a wearing attrition
Take the time to just listen
To your sweet Summer’s Sounds!

Beauty Sublime

Here’s a short, simple slide show of some photos I took on my bike rides along our greenway system where I live. Hope you enjoy and Praise God!

Beauty Sublime

Beauty Sublime
O’ for me sheer bliss
No matter the season 
Or the time
Lovely forms and colors
Upon his creation
God left one more kiss

Multitudes, varieties
No two exactly the same
To help us enjoy
And our senses to please
All this beauty
Was for man’s gain

So wander the world
Drink in its wondrous sights
Leaving it whole
Let it lift you to
New heavenly heights!

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
