A Picture Perfect Morning

At this time of the year, mornings are dark; sunrise was at 9:02 a.m. this morning. On Christmas morning, we were struck with the setting full moon in the west. I don't know that I've ever seen such a thing before—a full bright moon disappearing on the horizon—and it was quite magnificent. So magnificent, in... Continue Reading →
