Nature is an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we only will tune in.

George Washington Carver

I thought about these words over the past week as Sophie and I were out and about on one of our long walks.........

It seems that "nature" was calling out to me everywhere I turned.

Look at the detail in those fragile wings!

Sometimes, I find a surprise............when I really don't want to.

I spend a great deal of time..........chasing the elusive butterfly...........

this one looks as if it came right out of the pages of a vintage nature print book.........

doesn't it?

My zinnias are now coming into bloom....( a post for later)

 

and the butterflies find out very quickly.

This beautiful creature was flitting in and out, in front of Sophie and I and it suddenly came to rest and allowed me to get very close for it's photo...........

then it slowly opened up it's wings as if to say........
"now look!"

Aren't those colors beautiful?

I think it's white edged wings look as if they were crocheted.........

don't you think?

Out in the muddy cotton field, came these two , hopping along.......

they are under 1/2 inch!

No one likes the lonely stink bug.........

but they are wonderful models for a photo!

I am always amazed at how shiny it stays in the Texas dirt and dust..........

black cars are shiny, but they don't stay that way!

And this tiny little dragon........

the horned toad........

still so small.

No matter what species............

all babies are cute.............

don't you think?

How about you?

What has nature been broadcasting and what has God been speaking to you?

I would love to hear!
