Nature All Around Us


Isn't it amazing how much beauty surrounds us?


Admittedly, for many years of my life, I never gave clouds, trees or flowers much thought.  Life was way too busy.

It's still very full but now I love to take time to look at the loveliness all around----free for the looking.


We have been so immensely blessed by our Creator with a huge variety of trees, bushes, flowers and so forth.

From the tiniest blade of green grass to the towering pines almost touching the sky, all is spectacular.   


Seeing all the beauty in nature brings delight and deep gratitude.



WHAT IS THE LAST BEAUTIFUL GIFT OF NATURE THAT YOU SAW?

The last beautiful gift of nature from the Almighty that I saw was with my grand children last week. We saw the tide pools at Dana Point and the children loved looking at what lived under the rocks and water. I love to see the ocean waves...so gorgeous and peaceful. Your pictures are lovely too Susan!

Oh yes Susan, our God is an awesome God! So amazing to see what He has done and continues to do! Love your pix.
Hugs,
Linda

Lovely pictures, and so true. I get so much peace looking at His beautiful creation. Seeing the little chickadees at my feeder always makes me smile.

Hello from Spain: these pictures are beautiful and inspiring. I like to see the height of the old trees in a park near my house. Also the movement of white clouds on blue sky. Keep in touch

From sun up to sunrise, there are so many beautiful gifts of nature. It is now August 1st and summer in New England is at it's peak. The lush greenery of the mountains surround our little city and the flowers are a riot of color. In the morning the lake is calm with little swirls of mist billowing across it's surface. The challenge lies in finding a few moments of quiet time to reflect and enjoy all the beauty...
