Too Much and Enough


thirsty lantana

drinking in the summer rain

potted rose moss: 😳


Do you like honey? Don’t eat too much, or it will make you sick!

weary crescent moon

finds a welcome place to rest

waning is hard work


Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

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.

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.

Happy Flowers


Do not dwell on bad

or bad will only turn worse

water the flowers.

The whole He hath made beautiful in its season;

The View

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)
