"The light of God's love"

Trees.                         (Click on the photo for a larger view) In the narrative for a previous Picture of the Day I wrote about how God created light for the benefit of His "living" creations. I feel that today's picture and accompanying text from photographer and good friend Ron Trees is a wonderful follow-up to that feature (and of course Ron's picture is simply stunning, as usual): "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:3) Ever since that point, God has been writing his love letters across the sky in different forms and colors for all to enjoy. He does all sorts of things to get our attention, to maybe slow us down a bit and spend a bit of time to think about Him. There truly is beauty all around us, if we just take the time to see it. I have said before that I really like sunrise and sunset. It seems that recently, we have been having a lot of very nice sunsets. I was on my way home last night, and just as I was leaving town, I saw this sunset. I had to stop and try to capture it. I hope that I am doing it justice as it was beautiful. I hope that you enjoy it also."    --Ron Trees Click here to see some of Ron's other wonderful sunset and sky photos.     Visitor Comments...
