Some Things That Brightened My Day

There are times when I can capture a moment with a camera, and times I can't. Here are a few things that I couldn't photograph today:

The beautiful blue-gray waves of clouds as a cold front passed to the north.

The pride on a first-grader's face as she explained, through her tears, how she was clear to the top of the climbing wall before she fell and scraped her tummy. (Oh, the miracle of band-aids and ice.)

The bouncy curls of a little sister who ran to my chair to say hello...
and the bright eyes of another little sister who still doesn't have any hair!

The orange-red glow of the late-afternoon sun on the breasts of cedar waxwings flying overhead.

For them all I say, "Thanks be to God."
