Cover Photo – This photo was taken by John Kracke. John writes “One morning, while I was leaving my development on my way to work, I was stunned by the beauty of the rising sun as it was shining through a tree in the foreground. The field and area behind the tree was covered by a morning haze and it reminded me of a scene that someone might see if they were in the Serengeti. I took the photo with my iPhone 5 in July of 2015 – no post processing was done to this image.”
Ellen Hardesty took this photo in her backyard in the Fall of 2021. Ellen writes “I love to see the blue birds swarm in to eat the berries on my dogwood. This year I was disappointed that my neighbor had all the blue birds on his dogwood. All the leaves were gone, but I would occasionally look to see if perhaps one hungry bird would show up and make my day. As you can see patience paid off.”
