~ Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #284: Night & Day ~


Sophia Alves leads our challenge this week with the theme of Night and Day. The golden hours of dawn and sundown are favorite times for photographers to capture the glory of our beautiful earth, and then there are all the other times in our daily 24 hours to find beauty. In this challenge, once again I am pairing photos with haiku and poetry from my collected writings.

suspended in rosy heavens
full Hunter’s moon drifts
toward tomorrow

secret dark night woods
underline dawn’s golden glow
clouds scatter luster

Light is Life (excerpt)

light-years radiate
far-away glimmer of wishes
beams from ancient dreams
spark a torch of hope

white-hot sun drifting
yellow corona glows
orange radiates

full moon floats upon
an ocean of foamy clouds
deep-blue night awaits

night-time companion
moon ~ master of ocean tides
mother of wonder

On your walk with life, please honor our earth, encourage dignity and share kindness. 🐾

A big thank you to Sofia, for another fun challenge!
