Surrendered Beauty
And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, He will certainly care for you.

Without Breath
Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest sing for joy… — Psalm 96:12, NLT Would you weep with me if we imagined a world with no trees?

The Bur Oak Tree
I enjoy the serene offerings of cornflower blue lantana, the pleasing scent of yellow shrub roses, the moonlight glow of the blue plumbago that all grow near or under the canopy of this strong bur oak, a shield and protector in this tiny garden I roam. This day, this hard day when life is setContinue reading “The Bur Oak Tree”
The Lilies Blush
….Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow….—Mathew 6:28, NLT The lilies reveal a soulful blush, adorned by these subtle hues infusing the silky blooms, an imbibing of burgundy rising as the petals yield to a harmony of color, tinges of living green, flecks of darkened pink, a watercolor of perfection flowering.Continue reading “The Lilies Blush”

Late Blooms
You have shown me the way of life, and You will fill me with the joy of Your presence. — Acts 2:28, NLT Late summer blooms amused by their own profusion, a delirious yellow cheerfulness atop the tender green; the earthy scent of growth stirs up the joy of my contentedness as I stand countingContinue reading “Late Blooms”
Gentle Souls
There are gentle souls, those who tread lightly when breaking new ground, careful not to disturb all that is living. Those with caring hands, that reach into soil, nourish the land, harvest that growth; they give out, give back. You see them, bodies bent as they work, the very act like prayer as they tendContinue reading “Gentle Souls”
Detached
“Flowers are the music of the ground. From earth’s lips spoken without sound.” — Edwin Curran I snipped green stems in angled lines, renewing the vein, a cut required for water, a temporary reprieve before the completion of certain decay. I photographed these charming blooms, profuse with color and releasing the heady aroma of florals,Continue reading “Detached”
