Project 365 – #105 Munchkin has a serious dislike for bees, wasps, hornets….  You get the idea.  Lately, she’s torn between staying away from them and capturing the beautiful flowers.  Usually, her dislike wins, and she asks me to get pictures of the flowers surrounded by bees.  When we were out hiking, we came across this beautiful bush filled with flowers – and bees.  As I was snapping the picture, this wasp decided to get into the picture.  The bees, on the other hand, didn’t want to make their presence known in the pictures other than their back ends. lol!

Spread Her Wings

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

Project 365 – #104 Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars and spreads his wings toward the south? Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes his nest on high? On the rock he dwells and makes his home, on the rocky crag and stronghold. From there he spies out the prey; his eyes behold it from far away. ~Job 39:26-29~ There is something majestic about a hawk soaring overhead.  The hawks ride the currents – drifting up, down, and side-to-side.  While the hawks are being carried by the wind, they are closely scanning…

Driving through Kofa

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #102 On Saturday, we headed over to Kofa National Wildlife Refuge.  We wanted to do a little exploring in some of the areas where we hadn’t gone previously.  We’re trying to fit in a few more fun family outings before D’s surgery right after Easter. We had fun taking pictures and just looking at all of the beautiful scenery. The gorgeous fluffy white clouds against the brilliant blue skies were breath-taking. We even saw some interesting clouds.  We thought this one looked like a funny face.  What do you think?

The Lord is My Rock

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

I have a dear online friend – a Marine Mom – who is struggling right now.  Her son is deployed, so she’s dealing with the stress brought on by that.  In addition to that stress, she’s struggling with health and other issues.  I’m praying, but I wanted to publically show some support and let her know that she’s loved.  This picture is for her. Semper Fi, Marine Mama!  The Lord is on your side, and you have many prayer warriors who have your back.
