Joy in the Garden



Today I join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy comes in many forms.
And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as
celebrating the beauty in
all that surrounds me.

must be open to it!

roses so fragile
beautiful and delicate
strong on slender stem

a fragrance so sweet
Scent of the holy angels
was creator sent

Thanks be to God!!!

Playing with photo
Finding depth in the bright flash
All becomes surreal

Thanks be to God!!!

Addendum:  Found there was too much gloom in the darkness in this post that started yesterday.  Changed the focus and found joy in the surreal when I came out of the darkness!!

Bird Nest Anthology, 2013






















This was a journey. I discovered this bird nest last Fall. It was in a tree outside one of the windows where I work.  I so enjoyed watching the changes as they took place.  I could hardly wait until Spring when I just knew Mama would arrive to set up housekeeping.  Much to my chagrin Mother Nature takes care of her own and so I discovered that She decorated and camouflaged the wee nest so that I could not photograph Mama and her brood.  I've seen her nesting, but only in the shadows.  It's been quite an adventure!

It's true Spring is for the Birds!!!!

Wondering if Spring would ever come.  But sure as the sun rises in the East so will the blossoms of Spring burst into being!  


Garden of the Soul

Roses ever bloom
Even with the weeds.

Thanks be to God!!!
