“Within the mystery of life there is the infinite darkness of the night sky lit by distant orbs of fire, the cobbled skin of an orange that releases its fragrance to our touch, the unfathomable depths of the eyes of our lover. No creation story, no religious system can fully describe or explain this richness and depth. Mystery is so every-present that no one can know for certain what will happen one hour from now. It does not matter whether you have religion or are an agnostic believe in nothing, You can only appreciate (without knowing or understanding) the mysteries of life.”

Awoke early and headed to Pineridge Natural Area for some sanctuary time and to take a dozen images of the sunrise. Last sunrise image up there was on December 11th, so it had been a while. Always a good way to begin the day and appreciate the mysteries of life. Seems to be cold almost everywhere so stay warm and dry!

I know that must have felt good, to be back in the field. Mysteries of life indeed; I have no desire to know exactly what’s around the bend. 😉

Yes, I’m missing my quiet times with nature, feel it inside. And, yes knowing what’s around the corner can take the fun away. We need to be surprised! Hope you are well and enjoying life!

A lovely and seemingly frigid-looking photo. While I often try to anticipate those things that may occur in my little world, there’s always a surprise or two, and sometimes they’re even good! Have a good weekend, Monte!
Monte Stevens
The temperature seemed warm especially after the near zero and negatives night temperatures we’ve been having but still cold. Yes, sometimes the surprises are good! Hope you two also enjoy your weekend.

More questions than answers – that’s for sure. That open sky sure signals it was a crisp morning – but it is beautiful.

I like the idea of more questions! Yes, it was crisp. We are much warmer this morning at 44 degrees. However your part of tge country has definitely been cold. Stay warm!
