Peace in the valley

If cats and dogs can do it

I ask, "why can't we"

Autumn Memories

Autumn's nearly here

Anticipating color

Heavenly palate

Our trip to Colorado was later last year.  We traveled in October.  The color we saw in Missouri on the way home was just magnificent.  The sunrise as always leaves one speechless!  We'll be leaving soon for Colorado and hope that the aspen are changing color by then.  It is time for my annal "Rocky Mountain High!"  And, it only comes from witnessing the glory of God's creation!

Nature Sustained

Crepe Myrtle

Do you appreciate the seasonal changes?  Here in Indiana there are four season:  summer, autumn, winter, spring.  I take them for granted, I'm ashamed to say.  Some do not exactly experience the season we do here.  In the summer it's hot and humid.  Autumn has its glorious colors and cooler days.  Winter can be frigid and snowy, but not as bad here on the Ohio River as it is farther north.  And finally, the well received spring.  That's when the floral glory makes it's appearance.  

I have also taken for granted all of nature that I find so beautiful and yet assume they will return year after year.  What if after the trees lost their leaves in the fall, managed to survive the winter, failed to leaf out in the spring?  The butterfly failed to return from Mexico.  The birds had no place to nest.  All of this is necessary to sustain us.  

We need Nature and Nature needs us.  For heavens sake, let's accept it and do what we can to aid in its sustainability!

Sunrise Glory

Sometimes  a sunrise is just overwhelming.  The beauty of God's art is that it always takes me be surprise.  This is one of those times.

Sunrise in the east

Breathtaking wonder of God

Lifts my very soul

"God's in His heaven and all's right with the world."
