Fearless

only the bravest

dare to thrive on the edges

fearless free climbers


Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

Bedazzled

Calibrachoa

dressed in luminous colors

stars of the garden


And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

Matthew 6:28-29 (NIV)

Happy Flowers


Do not dwell on bad

or bad will only turn worse

water the flowers.

Perspective 2.0


The Koi, far below

need just a little cropping

brand-new perspective


The whole He hath made beautiful in its season;

The View

Photo by Gary Fultz on Unsplash

as the clouds gather

the sun dips behind the lake

beaver paradise


A spring sunset over a beaver dam on a lake in the pristine waters of northern Minnesota. It looks as if the sun is drawing all the clouds into a circle to put them on display with it’s evening colors.

Spring’s Hope

Photo by Gary Fultz on Unsplash

such new beginnings

like the leaves of a burr oak

remind us of hope


And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom he has given us.

Romans 5:5 (NIV)

Patience

the flowers of spring

waited for the melting snow

delayed, not denied


The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

Psalm 145:15-16

Three in One

Photo by Betty Chambers, from Chambers on the Road

flowers, rocks, water

make a beautiful trio

like you, me, and God


For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in the midst of them.

Jesus—Matthew 18:20 (NKJV)
