The smooth part is what the ocean did. The rough part came from a tractor

What’s Flowering Where You Are

Dale offers the prompt “what’s flowering where you are” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

We are currently travelling in southern Florida between Tampa and Miami. I noticed these while walking on sidewalks in the Miami area.

I don’t know what these plants are or even if they are technically flowers, but they were colorful which drew my attention to them.

A New Year Dawns

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.

Sunrise with two birds — Sunrise with Two Birds

Christmas Poem

Waters rush within,
living rivers flow—
wise men follow star—
God is here not far,
nearer than we know.

______

Matthew 2:1-2
¹Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
²Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

John 7:38
³⁸He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Merry Christmas
