Moonrise, December 16

Moonrise, December 16

The moon was rising shortly after I left work. Though looking forward to getting home, actually usually in a hurry to get to the place I am blessed to share with three dogs and my marvellous wife, I had to stop and admire. A flock of Canada geese in the near distance heading to their night roost calling to one another lent timelessness and enchantment. It’s important to me to keep in at least minimal contact with my world, this wonderful world around me.

Sunrise, December 16

Winter sunrises are so beautiful. The starkness of the snow, the muted colours of the landscape, seem to force me to more deeply see and appreciate the colours of the sunrise and the sky. I love sunrises during this time of year.
