Good Morning Kansas!
I can only think of a handful of things that can top a Kansas sunrise (or sunset).

Weekend Randomness
Nothing posed…nothing special. But they are kind of fun.
Berl & Company
One benefit of my employment is a perk that affords spirtual counseling if and whenever the need might arise. A couple pastors come to our office a few times per month and check in on each employee. Obviously, friendships, fellowships, and trust develop between all of us. Berl is one of the pastors that stops by each week. His visits are welcomed in our Fort Worth office. Thursday, Berl and his lovely wife Verna had a few of us over for lunch and to seek free advice on his emaculate back yard landscape. “We”, being the landscape architects and horticulture … Continue reading Berl & Company

I’ve got way too many of these…. Sky pictures as far as the eye can see Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: sky
Weekly Photo Challenge: Morning
Now this is something I’ve got a whole lot of pictures of….
Most of you limeyfishers know how I like my sunrises over the lake. So I went through the 1,000+ photos of sunrises and pick a few favorites. Then I debated on whether to post them in this “challenge”. So I searched a bit more . I may have stretched the challenge (maybe I don’t think so now) by taking “morning” and figuring what pictures I had that showed something happening then.
What cha think?
Good morning-night
It was a good morning…
…back in mid-January. With the cool weather the last couple mornings I remembered this draft post I never completed.
Overnight, a heavy fog settled over the lake. The waters were calm. It was me and the ducks, gulls, and one grouchy egret. One ought to take a recording device of some kind and capture the squawking everyone makes at dawn’s first light.
Madison & Spring
This morning, the Queen and Princess watched the morning arrive and the first day of Spring.
The Last Good Morning…
…of the year. 2010 ended with subtle sunrise so I went about capturing it’s sleepy awaking at a totally different spot this morning (a bit further away than usual…about 2.5 miles from the house).
The moonrise wasn’t too far ahead of the sunrise this morning. And the ducks were restless – we must have a change in the weather headed our way in north Texas.
Totally lunar
It was a cool night and the moon was a center stage all night long. A lunar eclipse on the day of winter solstice – one that last happened in 1638. The next time it occurs on the solstice will be in 2094, according to NPR. BTW, the YouTube below is not mine.
I got the sunrise and moon set this morning…that in itself was kind of cool as I kept switching from the east, 180° to the west, and back and forth and back and forth, messing with different camera exposure settings. Whew, already tired…. Continue reading “Totally lunar”
Me and those dang sunrises
December 17, 2010 sunrise and wildlife at Lewisville Lake…just a mile or so from the house.
Good Morning Tuesday
Really, it wasn’t such a bad way to start the day. Even the morning weather man commented on what a particularly beautiful sunrise we had going on.
Wrapped up
Just when I was getting all wrapped up in…”stuff”, I have to be reminded to get all unwrapped, for crying out loud.
Work, political argument, professional challenges, successes and failures, family attitudes, time demands, making ends meet, coordinating schedules of events, getting ready for a 3-day weekend trip, sadly realizing LD High School football has their last home game this Friday, figuring out how to evict the pity-party-goers trying to dominate the day, and a big one: having to deal with the absurdity and unfairness of life.
Oh geez….
So then… Continue reading “Wrapped up”
Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn
The title is a quote I’ve long since forgotten its origin, but for any of us needing some tranquility in our lives, perhaps a few repeat chants of the quote and witness to a spectacular sunrise might make for a better start to your day. Stop and smell the roses; Stop and take in a sunrise, or a sunset; Stop and hug a tree (and a loved one) sometime soon. Continue reading “Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn”
