Nature

We were hammered with wind and snow over the weekend.  When we woke up this morning we were left with huge fluffy drifts in the backyard, and that glittery, shimmering effect of the sun on the snow.  It was beautiful!

In November we went to California and spent a day at Sea World.  As we were walking over to a show I noticed this gorgeous tree FILLED with huge blossoms and humming with bees.  I couldn’t resist stopping to take a picture.

The beautiful blue sky, the intricate blossoms, even the oval, green buds were just gorgeous all together.

“The supreme beauty of the natural world reminds us of the power and perfection of God.  When we are in nature we have feelings of hope, peace and reverence.  In nature we can see the handiwork of the perfect Artist.”  - Tom Reese

I am so grateful for this beautiful world we have to live in, for each detail that has been added to nature.  Even if it’s just glitter across the snow, it brings me joy!

I agree! I think one can marvel endlessly at the Creator's handiwork if we just take the time to notice it.
