Orange Poppies

I have enjoyed a few days off work to extend my holiday weekend. I had a photo project on Shutterfly that I was working on (I love Shutterfly). But I also spent time out and about looking for more butterflies. I think I found a few more varieties than I realized as I add them…

Sunday thoughts

“Faith and hope…are the wings by which our souls, rising above the world, are lifted up to God.” ~ John Calvin

Silent Sunday

“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.” ~ Mother Teresa

Eared Grebe

The grebe is one of my favorite birds! What a joy to discover this little guy. I don’t believe I’ve seen him in the area before!
