Luk 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Luk 2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
Luk 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Luk 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

    At first I thought it was an odd cloud formation, then I realized it was something special. I’m glad I had my camera in the house!

    It is amazing that you always see these things when most of us miss it. Wonderful work.

  • Thanks Lori!
    While I do look for these things, I also listen to the still small voice.

    By God, Paul. Every photograph of yours I see is outdone by the next one. Not only remarkable for itself and its color but for the phenomenon, I am unaware of such things, which is such a delight to discover via your lens. Merry Christmas again.

  • Barbara, thank you so much for your wonderful support!
