My nine-year-old Thomas took this Wordless Wednesday photo today on a nature walk leading up to the bay. Just sharing it because I like how he captured the lighthouse at the head of the path.
Have a great day!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday. Every picture tells a story.
Tonight I was just browsing thorugh some pictures from the past year and it strikes me that the majority of my shots are posed pictures. My object in posting these was to find pictures that tell a story. Just some random pictures that speak for themselves, I hope. Enjoy!
Check out other bloggers' Wordless Wednesday posts... some great pictures there!

Wordless Wednesday...Spring Flowers
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year

Almost Wordless Wednesday (pt.2)
When walking out my door over the weekend, I couldn't help but notice the snowflakes on my sleeve Each one was unique in its own beauty. It brought to mind something I loved doing as a child... capturing the small wonders on black paper so I could examine them more closely. My thoughts would always wander, as they still do, to ponder God's limitless creativity in forming each flake, different from all others before it, or yet to come.
If God is so thoughful in the creation of small things, like these snowflakes, how much love and care goes into the creation of each and every one of us.
And all these small flakes together play individual role in the big picture. Just as we do!
May we all come to know Gods limitless love for us and may we all seek to find his unique purpose for the most precious gift He gives... life!
