Ice

Hello my friends!
I know it has been way to long since I have written. My life is pretty full right now, but good. :) How have you been?
Today there was freezing rain/ice. Looking out of my bedroom this morning I noticed how cool the trees were covered in ice.  I went out with the camera and here are some of the pictures I came back with! Hopefully the ice doesn't harm the buds that are on some of the trees.

If you haven't guessed I really enjoy taking pictures of water (in all of it's forms). I think God's handiwork is especially portrayed through ice. All of the intricate patterns are amazing! Have you noticed anything that God has made complex patterns? If so, comment down below!

Job 28:25-27

"When He imparted weight to the wind And meted out the waters by measure, When He set a limit for the rain And a course for the thunderbolt, Then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out"

Do you see the intricate patterns I was talking about?

Have a joy filled day!

Frost Patterns

Hello Everyone!
It has been a while since I last wrote, life has been pretty busy. How was your Christmas? Was it white?  Here it has been unusually warm, rainy, and without snow so I haven't been able to take many pictures lately. I will however share a few pictures from a month or so ago when it was cold (in the single digits) and we had a little snow. These pictures are of frost patterns which were on our windows. They were really cool! 

Hope that you have a great day! 

Wood Photo Shoot

Recently we were able to pick up some wood from our friends house. It was a blessing for both of us.  Since we have a wood stove so we can use the wood, and it also got the wood out of our friends way. :) Anyways, it was stacked outside the window and looked cool so I decided to go out and take some pictures. It's pretty amazing how interesting wood can be if you look closely at it, from the bark, to the fungus growing on it, to the bright colors. Even wood expresses the creativity of God!

Here are the pictures I took, I hope you enjoy! 

Water Droplets

Have you ever been outside right after a rainstorm, and looked closely
 at the many water droplets on trees, grass, leaves, and many other objects?
If not, next time there is rain, go outside and look closely at the water drops.
I took most of  these pictures outside, in pauses between rainstorms, last week.
 It was really amazing how round, these water drops were,
some of them were almost perfect spheres!
 Untill recently I hadn't taken much notice in how interesting water
 can be, but by taking these pictures it helped me to see Gods creation
 in the form of water droplets.

 Today, as you look around you, is there something beautiful
 that God has made that you haven't taken notice of before?
 As you observe the beauty around you, remember how powerful God is,
 and thank him for the many gifts he has bestowed on us,
whether they be big or small.

I hope you have a great day!

Fall

Hello again!

It's starting to feel like fall here! The leaves are changing colors and it is colder outside. How about where you live? What is the weather like?
Here are a few fall pictures that I recently took and a fall poem called "Autum" by Ryan Larkin.

Genesis 8:22

"While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”

                 Autumn

Descending leaves fall to the ground,
Twirling, twisting, round and round,
Autumn season is almost here,
The smell of freshness is oh so near. 
The crisp, cool breeze,
Shakes the leaves from the trees, 
Autumn takes away the green, 
Golden-bronze and brown is all that can be seen.

Nature in My Backyard

Hello!
Recently I did a photo shoot of nature in my backyard! A while ago I had taken pictures of flowers from my yard, and this is sort of a sequel. While taking these pictures I was reminded of this verse:

"O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom has thou made them all: the earth is full of your riches."(Psalm 104:24)."


I hope that you enjoy your day, and remember to look around you and see if you can discover God's creation around you! Let me know in the comments down below what you found, I would love to hear from you! 

I thought this was a cool shot with the sun behind the leaf!

We have been blessed with A LOT of apple's this year!

I really like taking pictures of insects on flowers (if you hadn't guessed) :D These bee pictures turned out pretty good!

I love the  yellow pollen on this bee!
