Great are the works of the Lord.Psalm 111:2
Living on the prairies we have a lot of wind,
Another shot,this time I raised the lens to see more of the area.
The last scene was taken through our bedroom window.
One morning as I was having my devotions,I looked up
and this was the picture I saw.
I just loved the way the sun was illuminating the evergreens.
I deliberately took the picture to show just how I saw it,window casing and roof included.
God's mighty hand can be felt every minute,
American Coot
American Goldfinch
The bright yellow of these birds is always a welcome sight at the feeders.
American Redstart
We see these every year,but because of their constant
movement it is not easy to get good photos of them.
American Crow
Always present and mostly unwanted.
I do need to remind myself that even the Crow is
one of God's creations.
Daisies and Painted Daisies
Goldenrod
A Sunflower seen in fields every year.
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Baltimore Oriole
American Goldfinch on thistles
Tulips in our garden
The main feeder is unique,making use of an old bowl.
Some old willow chairs were readily used by the birds for a waiting area.
A beautiful American Goldfinch,posing just right.
This Common Redpoll was waiting his turn at the seeds.
Always a good photo subject,the Black-capped Chickadee.
The only thing between me and the Goldfinch is a pane of glass.
Another Chickadee willing to pose for me.
Jake and I went out in search of Eurasian Collared Doves.
I was happy to be able to get some decent photos of these birds.
The above picture is of our golf course in Morden.
Here we see a mobile home park,called Dunsten Village.
As you can see this flight was taken in fall.
An overhead view of Lake Minniwasta.
Here we see a large feedlot just north of Morden.
A quick flight over the highway between two towns,Morden and Winkler.
Another view of Morden,the area to the right with all the trees
The Blue Jays always show up when there are peanuts available.
This good looking fellow is waiting his turn,or perhaps
waiting for me to move away from the window.
An American Robin has been hanging around all winter.
I wonder if he is second guessing himself by now.
On Saturday he had three of his relatives with him,
guess there is safety in numbers.
Life cannot be easy for these birds in temperatures like ours.
Great are the works of the Lord. Psalm 111:2
All photos above taken by Ruth
I will not try to identify these insects.
The treasures of the crystal snows,
And all the wonders nature shows,
Speak of a mighty Maker's hand,
That all in love and wisdom planned.

Raindrop on a Lily
Raindrops on a Stargazer Lily
The flower of a Canada Thistle.
One of my favorite summertime flowers,
