Water Fall

Droplets on a dead leaf

Droplets on a living leaf

I hear water falling from the sky~uhh I think it is known as rain!?  But since it is hard to catch rain pictures in the dark I can't post any current pictures... The sound of rain hitting the ground wants me to cozy up in front of the fireplace with a good book and surround myself with family.

New Every Morning

I never get tired of these flowers.  It occurred to me how beautiful this bush is right now...the winter freeze didn't harm it any.  In fact I think this bush liked the cold weather!

For look how many blooms it has!

Take a Walk with Me

On a recent Sabbath afternoon after potluck, Chief and I went walking with a camera in hand.  Here are a few things we saw:

Yellow Flower

Does anyone know what kind of flower this is?  I thought it was a type of Lady Slipper or orchid, but can't find anything like it on the internet.  The leaves close up at night.  the flowers bloom on the end of a 2 foot stem that has leaves all the way up the stem..?

Natures Wonderland

Chief had a day off work this week, so went on an impromptu date.  Took a  walk,  taking pictures as we went along.  I treasure these times.

A log? or...?

Gods love...

"Nature and revelation alike testify of Gods love.  Our Father in heaven is the source of life, of wisdom, and of joy.  Look at the wonderful and beautiful things of nature.  Think of their adaptation to the needs and happiness, not only of man, but of all living creatures.  The sunshine and the rain, that gladden and refresh the earth, the hills and seas and plains, all speak of the Creators love.  It is God who supplies the daily needs of his creatures."  SC 9

Therefore, bloom where you are planted!

(note to self)

Gecko!

I have fun watching these little  lizards running around on a vertical wall catching small bugs.  I find myself cheering them on...Go get 'em (those mosquitoes)! I was pleasantly surprised to see more then one hanging out one evening. But they did not like their picture being taken.  They kept hiding wherever they could find cover.

Nature speaks...

...of God when we listen

Bloom

Where you are planted...

It has taken me 15 years in the area we live, and I am still trying to "fit in". 

I will take a lesson from this picture.

Wild Neighbors

It has been a joy watching these families grow this summer.

Wild Flower Bouquet

I see these as I go on my walk most every day at this time of year.

Why not bring them inside?!

Just what I needed to brighten my day.

Morning Beauty

Clouds capture my attention

and so do flowers...

A lesson from the ant...do not be sluggish today.  Look how the grass is not even allowed to grow close to their home. 

Morning Scene

What I saw on my walk today...

There is Beauty all Around...

 So many flowers in bloom...just gotta share!

Picture Time

I walk past these many times.  I just am awed at how many are blooming right now.  Truly...spring has come!
