One or Another - A stand-alone tree with Autumn leaves by a fence in the wooded preserve - Color Photograph Copyright 2013 Frank J Casella I’ve always been attracted by trees. The light and shadow play on the branches. The colors from the Fall Season. But deeper, the formations from their environment and the other trees around them .. Or not. Trees, very much like our lives, all have a life of their own. Each one is different in their own way, though they may be the same kind: Birch, Cedar, Oak. Some tree branches it seems are attracted towards the Light, while others it seems move one direction because of a branch or another tree forces them from another direction. There are many directions that we can go in life .. One or Another ... The choice is ours. "A good choice today will lead to a better tomorrow ... We have the power to choose ... Use ti wisely." -- Zig Ziglar "The stumbling block to the pessimist, is a stepping stone to the optimist." -- Eleanor Roosevelt. www.frankjcasella.ipernity.com

A Fall leaf in the grass that illustrates the perfection of what God has created, to enjoy this beauty while on earth, in addition to His creating our lives. Although the leaf has flaws and scars, it still brings much beauty into the world for the short time of one season, just as our lives our short lived. www.frankjcasella.ipernity.com

The sun rises on a neighborhood street in Midwest America, in my home town in Illinois - USA. I like how the illuminated light post juxtaposes with the morning sun. www.ipernity.frankjcasella.com

To the iPernity Family, Happy Easter 2021!! The simple moments in life like this help us to put our priorities in right perspective. We can be so busy that we miss out on the sunrises in life, the times in the silence of our own thoughts. "Be glad, let earth be glad, as glory floods her, ablaze with light from her eternal King, let all corners of the earth be glad, knowing an end to gloom and darkness.” ~ The Exsultet: The Proclamation of Easter: www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/liturgical-year-and-calendar/easter/easter-proclamation-exsultet
