Night Beauty

I stepped outside to take some recycling to the recycling bin and what a gorgeous night! It is one of those nights where it is crisp and quite cool. The extra clear sky where the almost full moon illuminates the sky like the brightest street light. Stars stand out against the darkness like twinkling diamonds. I look up and behold this beauty through the stark barren trees of winter that add to the scape. It is a night where you could sit and stare, be mesmerized and lose yourself the world that surrounds you.

The most profound wonder of this is even with the best camera, you can't capture the beauty. Our eyes are the one of God's miracles that the most high-tech and elaborate piece of equipment still cannot match. What we perceive with our eyes captures the realness of God's creation better than any photo or computer-generated image.
