Sunset by Moonlight

The shorter days mean that it is sunset even if I head out immediately after work to take a walk. Soon I will have to set out in the dark.

The light fixture in the distance is a nesting site for Monk parakeets in Pelham Bay Park, Bronx, NY.

Sometimes it is prettier looking to the East than to the West.

I wonder what this four-footed friend thinks of the beauty around him.

The moon at sunset—a beautiful combination.

When I consider your heavens,
       the work of your fingers,
       the moon and the stars,
       which you have set in place,

  what is man that you are mindful of him,
       the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8:3, 4

 

 The moon marks off the seasons,
       and the sun knows when to go down. Psalm 104:19

This says it all.

Best in Show for New York, New York

My Mom won “Best in Show” at the Lowcountry Senior Center in Charleston, SC in September 2010. She entered two oil paintings under the title “New York, New York.” The original titles were “Lunch Break” and “Walk.” While I sadly didn’t inherit her artistic talent, I always like to point out that she was visiting me when she took the numerous photos that were the inspiration for the paintings. They are from the South Street Seaport area of NYC. Congratulations, Mom!

UFO Sunset

I thought that these pictures that I took of a sunset while flying from Charleston, SC to LaGuardia Airport in NY looked like photos of some type of UFOs.
