This is Jack's third book of Poetography. It continues to bring us the allure of his photographs and the spirituality that resided secure in his heart.

" 'I have set my rainbow in the clouds' said the Lord, 'and it will be the sign of the covenant between God and all the living creatures of every kind on the earth.'

"I honor clouds. Without them we would never see a rainbow. Photographically, rainbows are challenges but so engrossing are they that the photographer keeps trying. First to meet the challenge and then -- for me, at least -- to revel in the reminder of their profound significance.

"I was not always a believer. For too long I was a make-believer, pretending a faith I thought I should have. It was only once my wife and I had moved and found ourselves surrounded by nature that I slowly understood. Nature should no more be capatalized than it should be worshipped. What should be worshipped is the Maker of nature, the Maker of all. This book is one more effort on my part to worship.

"Keep the covenant."
