Anyone like a good #riddle?
I haven't posted one for some time, but I have a number in my collection now, so you can expect more in weeks to come. 😉
Here's one:
I have feet, but no legs;
I have arms, but no hands;
I have a back, but no spine;
Your seat is in fact mine.
"A Drop in the Ocean"
I was really pleased with this photo when I first took it about 6 months ago. There was a tiny drop of water on a pair of shorts, so I set up a light and pointed it at the drop. I tried different angles, but eventually decided that having the light directly behind the subject looked best, illuminating the drop and bringing out the texture of the fabric. I then positioned the drop as close to the centre of the frame as I could.
Nothing quite so well illustrates a forlorn, foreboding atmosphere as dark, ominous clouds. I was fortunate enough to see these splendidly textured clouds looming overhead near our house the other day.
I took this pair of photos while on a composition-scouting walk. Sauntering along an uninspiring overgrown path, I noticed a petal on the floor which, unlike the rest around it, had a distinct resemblance to a heart. So, I stopped, and, experimenting with a number of angles and positions for myself and the subject, took the images below. Thankfully, the clouds blocked the sun for a short while at the time, which gave me a nicely diffused light to work with.

Yet to be,
Not to see.
Ever near,
Never here.

Took this on a pleasant afternoon walk some time ago. Two branches framed the tracks nicely.
I was privileged to witness a spectacular sunset the other day. I used a relatively slow shutter speed to show that the rain was falling heavily.
I took this photo about a month ago. Relaxing in the garden, I noticed a bee in the grass. So, I decided to try to photograph it, keeping the sun to the front left of the bee for the best lighting. I followed it as it crawled along through the grass, trying not to have blades of grass in the way, and taking numerous pictures.
Sorting through the images of this bee, I nearly deleted this one, as there are a few blades and things in the foreground, partially hiding the subject. But, after a second look, I thought the grass in the foreground, slightly veiling the subject, gave it a beautiful mysterious, elegant look.

Here's one:
It can push or pull,
Either empty or full,
Using gas or liquid,
And made of solid.

Here's one:
If you walk to Mars,
And drink the sea,
If you juggle cars,
And eat a tree,
What is it that you have done,
That would be so very fun?

Here's one:
What grows up, down, and out at the same time?
The answer to the #riddle -
I am a treasure widely unknown.
I cast a shadow not of my own.
I am a preacher, yet I do not talk.
I am a journey that two can walk.
The answer is "a godly marriage".
I am a treasure widely unknown
(a godly marriage is of immense value, but, sadly, rarely seen)
I cast a shadow not of my own
(a godly marriage reflects the heavenly marriage between Christ and His bride and marriage on earth foreshadows this deeper truth)
I am a preacher, yet I do not speak
(a godly marriage is a witness to unbelievers, portraying Christ's love for his church)
I am a journey that two can walk
(marriage is a journey that a husband and wife walk together)
Thanks to @erdenpilger for the riddle.

Here's one to end the week:
If something is black, I am white.
If something is loose, I am tight.
If something is fast, I am slow.
If something is high, I am low.

Here's one:
Silent noise,
Sharpened bladeless.
Still motion,
Captured cageless.

Missionaries in Myanmar: Part 2
All missionaries are suffering the misery of this greatly. My faithful missionary friend has a wife who is about to give birth,and there is no hospital opened.He said to me they would deliver the baby themselves in their small house by trusting God.
I have two small little girls, one is two years, and another is six months; I don’t care if I don’t have food to eat, but I think much for them and their safety. May you continue to uphold us in your prayer for our safety, provision, and protection.Soldiers are catching people from every house, and now they are near to us. Please pray for us.”

Missionaries in Myanmar: PART 1
“Dear loving Brethren,
I am writing this Report with a broken and trembling heart.My eye is filled with sadness and tears of hurt. First of all I want to beg you to pray for our safety and protection.
The military has taken control and is killing civilians. Everyday we needed to collect dead bodies on the road with tears and pains.Banks are being shut down, and it isn’t easy to get online.
Everywhere is filled with smoke and fire as factories are burned and destroyed.Thousands of people don’t have work,food,and a place to stay now.Almost all of our church members ran back to their village. There is neither market nor a shop where we can buy food because every road is blocked.How long will we last if it continues like this!?
Just a while ago, the soldiers’ truck came and stopped near our house. We were terrified; they captured six people who were having tea in the shop. God is my only Hope.
