A Sunday Drive

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #101 On Sunday afternoon, we decided to go out for a nice drive.  Our first destination plan was Martinez Lake as we had never headed over there.  Upon arrival, we decided that we would just keep on going to the Imperial National Wildlife Refuge instead.  We were a little disappointed that the visitor center wasn’t open.  (Apparently, it’s closed on the weekends after March 31st.)  The disappointment didn’t last long as we found a beautiful picnic area right by the water. The breeze coming off the water mixed with the warm air to create a pleasant environment…

Rain for Your Land

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

Project 365 – #100 And if you will indeed obey my commandments that I command you today, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil. And he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full. ~Deuteronomy 11:13-15~

Raindrop

Project 365 – #099 On Friday, we were blessed with the sweet sound of raindrops on our windows.  Munchkin put on her coat and rain boots and headed outside to play. The rain cooled down the temps and cleared the air.  I so enjoy the lovely smell of spring rain.

Project 365 – #098 That little bird has chosen his shelter. Above it are the stars and the deep heaven of worlds. Yet he is rocking himself to sleep without caring for tomorrow’s lodging, calmly clinging to his little twig, and leaving God to think for him. ~ Martin Luther ~ Leaving God to think for him.  Hmm… maybe I could learn a thing or two from the birds. We are once again blessed to have a bird’s nest in the tree next to our house.  Munchkin was rather concerned that the birds would not be there this year as…

Hope is the thing with feathers…

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #097 Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all. ~ Emily Dickenson ~ Yesterday, Munchkin and I were looking around at all of the blooming flowers in our yard and in the yards around our neighborhood.  The bees were drawn to the sweet fragrance of the blossoming bushes.  Hummingbirds flitted this way and that from one bush to the next.  Pausing only briefly – just long enough for me to capture a brief glimpse of this tiny, amazing creature.
