Spring is in the Air

And we still have 18 days left of winter!

Flowers

1 Peter 1:24-25 "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever."

Nature

I have some more nature shots that I thought you might like to see. These were all taken about three weeks ago and you may want to see some of them bigger, the first one looks rather boring until close-up :)

The mushroom and the moon

We rarely get big mushrooms on our property, but when we do they turn out to look like this one. The boys found this in one of the gardens while taking a walk with Bek and Jem.

And here's a picture of the moon, taken by Jem just before it was completely dark outside.

Autumn

One of the many things I love about Autumn is nature ~ the flowers, orange leaves, the grass as green as ever, and to make it all the more beautiful, the rain making it smell and look so fresh. Jess and I took these photos this afternoon, just after the rain had passed.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched... but are felt in the heart."-Helen Keller

"God is the friend of silence.See how nature- trees, flowers, grass -grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls."-Mother Teresa
