Lavender Dreams / by Dave Hileman

At the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in early December there was a terrific storm overnight and into the early morning. It stayed cloudy, windy and the sky was often threatening during the day. Toward evening there was a heavy, dark bank of clouds that I could see from the beach and then suddenly some of the sunlight flooded underneath. It was beautiful and, in the photo, it seemed to turn the sand to lavender. What a treat.

“Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.” Ephesians 4:2-4 NLT
