The Way to the Cross

 Holy Week

(Philippines)

  

For the Catholics, the Lenten season has begun. We start to make sacrifices again. 

The way to the cross is a hard path - with many thorns, bushes, rocks, bumps, and humps. It is not an easy way. There is no shortcut. But one thing is for sure, we’ll all reach the end of the way . . . . no matter how we do it.  

Winter Shadows

The U.S. celebrates the Groundhog day every February 2. The tradition originated during medieval times when hibernating animals saw shadow, it means that winter would continue. If they didn’t see a shadow, then spring will arrive early. 

When winter and shadows go together, most of us don't appreciate it. 

However, when winter and shadow are captured together in a photo, they create a wonderful scene.

At the End of the Day

Princeton, New Jersey

(on a winter day)

“At the end of the day . . . ” is a famous idiomatic expression we often hear. It means -  “in the course of time.”  All of us have our own piece to complete this figure of speech. Literally, at the end of the day, the sun sets while the moon rises. At the end of the day, we give thanks to everything – good and bad, and hope that tomorrow is a better day.
