June 20 – Solstice Sunrise

From the hillside at Enger Park, I captured this sunrise over Lake Superior on the longest day of the year—a turning point in the quiet rhythm of the seasons.

With summer now fully upon us, the sun rises far to the north along the horizon. Yet even at this peak, the cycle begins its gentle shift, and the sun will now slowly track southward again along its appointed path.

The change is subtle, almost imperceptible day to day, but certain. Just like the seasons of life, time moves forward with steady purpose—day by day, night by night—each moment part of a greater design. All of creation bears witness to this unfolding, a vast and ordered clock set in motion by the hand of God.

“From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.” — Psalm 113:3

Lord, thank You for revealing Your glory in the world around us. In moments like this, we realize how small we are, yet we hold a deep place within Your perfect and unchanging design.
