MORE FALL COLOR

The color in our area is so vibrant this year
it is hard not to take more pictures.
I think that perhaps the color display
is because we have not had any frost yet.
These pictures were all taken at St.Vital Park in Winnipeg,Mb.

All creation bears the autograph of God
All creation bears God's autograph.
I like to think of this path leading
to unknown,yet beautiful places

Something toThink About

A wise old owl lived in an oak (or evergreen); The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why can't we all be like thet wise old bird? I came across this in my reading this morning. I needed that reminder.

Begin the day with prayer,end it with praise.

Canada Geese were everywhere at St Vital Park,Winnipeg.
This one was coming in for a landing.
These flowers at St.Vital Park,Winnipeg,Manioba
were still lovely on our walk yesterday.
Praise the Lord.Give thanks to the Lord,His
love endures forever.Psalm 106:1
When I look at the intricate patterns on this duck
I can only say "Creation is filled with signs that
point to the Creator."

Fall Colors

If we cannot see beauty,we cannot see God. He has made everthingbeautiful
in its time.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
I can never get enough of the fall colors,
they are with us for such a short time.
Southern Manitoba has some beautiful sunsets,
especially in fall.
I also love the colorful foliage.
This Sumac is always lovely.
It is just beginning to show it's real beauty.

Eventful Morning

Great Blue Heron and Great Egret Seeing double-two Great Egrets Great Egret fly-by
My husband and I went to a small local pond to look for birds.
The morning proved to be very successful for me.I had great opportunities to photograph a
Great Blue Heron as well as two Great Egrets.
I feel blessed to have had this opportunity,these are such graceful birds.

Hummingbird!

This was one of those special moments for my dear husband,a moment to give thanks to God.
God's miracles
Are all around
Within our sight
And touch and sound.

Fall Beauty

It has begun to feel somewhat like fall the last few days. Even though I know that this season means the end of summer,I can't help but look forward to the fall beauty.As the leaves turn color there is beauty all around. I need to remind myself to take the time to savor all the colors and sights. Here are two pictures taken on our yard last year,I am anticipating the same richness of color soon.

Getting Started

Since this is my first post,let me share a little about myself and my family.
My husband,Jake and I have one son who is married to a lovely young lady,who compliments our family well. On January 03,2006 Steve and Anita launched us into the roll of grandparents.
I must say that this has been a most enjoyable new roll.Our precious granddaughter,Kai is the sunshine in every day.
Jake and I spend many hours enjoying one of our favorite hobbies,photography.
It seems that we always find something to photograph.We feel that this is one way we can show the beauty of God's creation.As I post pictures on this site,it is my desire that they will cause you to see nature in a new light.Take time to appreciate what our loving God has so bountifully given to us.
