This picture from my evening walk at Lenora Park reminds me that sometimes life’s pathway leads us through darkness. But Jesus, the Light of the World, shines through to give us hope and remind us there is a bright side somewhere.

I finished my evening walk, drove past the Red Barn, and out of Lenora Park to the park across the street. From there, I looked back across the street at the Red Barn and saw it silhouetted against the fiery sky.
This experience reminded me of a lesson Jay Maisel taught us in a class years ago: “Sometimes the best picture is behind you.”
On October 13, these trees were vibrant green in the early morning light. By November 7, less than a month later, they have transformed into a brilliant display of reds, marking the arrival of autumn.
After the thunderstorms cleared, the sun emerged, causing the still visible branches of this tree to cast a sharp outline on the lush green lawn of Lenora Park in Snellville, GA. As leaves fill in the canopy, the shadow cast by the branches will be transformed into a nearly solid silhouette.
On some mornings after it rains, fog will hover close to the ground like a shroud.

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
Thomas Chisholm (1866–1960)
My “Empty Bench Series” is a look at nature and people from the perspective of an empty bench. Sit down a moment and view the world from each bench.
On this bench the rising morning sun warms your back as the fog dissipates from the valley. Slowly breathe the cool fresh air. It looks like a bright day ahead. Carpe diem!

Empty Bench at Lenora Park
My “Empty Bench Series” is a look at nature and people from the perspective of an empty bench. Sit down a moment and view the world from each bench.
Today, I invite you to take a seat on any one of the three visible benches and enjoy early morning at Lenora Park. The fresh crisp feel of fog, the splashing sounds of the water fountain, the glow of sunrise, cheerful chirping of birds, and the peace of a moment of quiet meditation. “Ain’t God Good!”
