A New Year Dawns

Dale offers the prompt “a new year dawns” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Focusing on the word “dawn” and realizing I was often in Florida for New Year’s I picked a few of my favorite winter sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean.

Christmas Art

Dale offers the prompt “Christmas art” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, the last regular challenge of 2023.

Although I didn’t make the wreath below, I did hang it on the door. 

For the other three I used LaTeX this past weekend to insert text over photographs that I took some time ago.

Celebration—Ovi Poetry Challenge

Since He’s the Lord you’re listening to
and not some demon fooling you,
forget what others say or do.
He is the only one.

They’ll question this and argue that.
It’s you, of course, they’re aiming at.
Your mind is not their new doormat.
Just celebrate the Lord.

Ronovan Hester offers the word “celebration” as inspiration for this week’s Ovi Poetry Challenge. Also posted in Poet’s Corner.

Festive Illuminations

Dale offers “festive illuminations” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

The wreath decorates the entrance to the Upper Room Chapel in Fort Mill, SC. We went to a worship service there last Saturday evening and I remembered to take some photos of festive illuminations.
