Summer Pics

I love the way the water catches the blues of the sky and the yellow and greens of the plants along our greenway walking trail. Today, I got really lucky and caught a female deer drinking at the edge of the river and then some full-grown turkeys in the wild grass. The largest looked like he would make a good Thanksgiving dinner as he was huge, almost as tall as my shoulder. Enjoy the pictures of the wild flowers and have a great day! Praise God for the beauty of His earth.

Water Songs

I shot some video footage of along the river beside our greenway system just after it had rained. The water was moving faster, and you could hear it better. I enjoy listening to the sounds of the waters. Have a blessed day!

Water Songs

Above life’s waters
Is your light
That ruach, breath, of you
Attempting to make
The one out of our two

Above the moving waters
Of life you go
Whether they move, flow
Fast or tediously slow

Trying to help me grow
Closer, more in your image
Multiplying your likeness
I try to follow as you bless

You follow the waters
Whether deep and dark
Or crystalline clear
Revealing our depths
In a reality so stark

So, I try to reach up
And fiercely cling
To the peace and 
Serenity you always bring
To the living waters of my soul
No matter the deep, dark 
Complexities of all their flows!

Summer Morning Prayer

Our greenway system is so beautiful that in spots it is almost like being in the middle of the Smokey Mountain National Park and Gatlinburg, but you’re still in the middle of a busy and growing city. Enjoy your day!

Dear Lord, I pray these people may come to know your overwhelming and unconditional love for them not just intellectually, in their minds, but in their guts, their hearts, may they feel it. That they will let you become intimate with them, and they can know that you created the earth with such beauty for them to enjoy and take pleasure in out of your great love for them. Amen

Greenway Walk – The Hunter

I got to see a Great Blue Heron up close this morning on the greenway while it was hunting for food. They eat fish and small frogs. Usually, they stand frozen in one spot, and you don’t get to see them move around. Today, he was all over the creek looking for food. Enjoy and may God bless your day!

Greenway Companions – Turtle Day!

Today was Turtle Day! on the greenway where I ride my bike. Normally, you only see the turtles in the water or on rocks sunning at the water’s edge. But today, they were right at the greenway. I caught a tiny, tiny, baby one in the middle of the trail, a large grandfather glaring at me from inside his shell and a medium sized one right at the edge in the grass. I guess they just felt like socializing with us intruders into their territory. I did not dare to pick one up because here in Tennessee we have a lot of snapping turtles so you don’t want a finger close to their mouths.

Just threw in a couple of pictures of some red clover that has come into full bloom just now. Have a great day and Praise God for the beauty and variety of His earth!

Greenway Walk

Again, I could not resist taking pictures on my early morning bike ride on our greenway system. I managed to catch a cardinal in flight and a small school of minnows. Hope you all enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoy taking them. Have a blessed day and Praise God for his kindness in making His earth so beautiful to look at on such beautiful sunny days.
