Beautiful morning...and the sun does this every day...

The first blush of dawn reflected on the still, icy surface of the river...

'You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.' (John 15.3-11)

...the sun bursts out in full flame. (Note: It is not a good idea to stare directly at the sun, especially through a camera lens; never ever through a zoom lens. It can destroy both your eyes and camera.)

Curious about the moon, took another photo around the same time as yesterday. Sure enough, a slightly slimmer sliver of a moon was in the sky (which the photo hasn't captured) left of center in the Eastern sky...

At dawn this morning...

#288

Burning sunrise (slightly more northerly -or straight east - view than usual)...

#287

A few wisps of cloud drifting out to sea like a row of ducklings...

#286

'Love anything and your heart will be...broken. If you want to (protect your heart), you must give it to no one...avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin... But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the danges of love is Hell.' (CS Lewis, Four Loves)

One piece of good news heard on the radio this morning... the day's getting longer.

#282

An icy, windy Monday sunrise...

#280

Sunday morning sunrise...

'Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.' (Matthew 1.17)

'His line shall continue forever, and his throne endure before me like the sun. It shall be established forever like the moon, an enduring witness in the skies.' (Ps. 89 36-37)

'You are my Son, the Beloved, with you I am well pleased.' (Mk 1.11)

#273

'Father, glorify your name' (John 12.28)

#272

Can't quite capture the amber hues of this morning's sunrise... Breathtaking.

#263

Beautiful Monday dawn...

#262

Clumpy clouds continue to hover over Manhattan... portent of coming snow?

#209

A new day...

'For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.' (1 Tim. 2.13-15)

Clouds looking foreboding at sunrise, but they have actually dispersed somewhat since into wisps...

'Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.' (1. Pet. 4.8)

#192

'Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind.' (1 Peter 3.8)
