My back yard is pretty much open land. There is about a million acres of nothing behind us. It can be a nuisance; there are snake, bugs, weeds, wild fires and mice. There is also a lot of beauty. Flowers in the spring time, the smell of wet sage (reminds me of the ranch) after a summer storm, sunflowers in the summer and beautiful shades of yellow in the fall. In the winter we have snow up there (or dead grass depending on the year) with beautiful snow drifts and deer tracks. The one thing we have year round is breath taking sunsets, and lovely skies.
This is what I see out my back door
This is what I saw when I walked out on the back step.
There is no need for words.
This world is so beautiful.
Then I looked down at my poor dead, empty flower beds and saw all the little bird tracks. Kind of cute huh.
(Hopefully in two months time that flower bed will be full of daffodils, I planted 100 bulbs in that bed this fall)
and on the other side, next to my cold dead roses, more tracks.
There are moments in our hum-drum days, when God says “stop, look, be filled.” If we stop, look, our weary, tired souls will be filled.
Are we allowing God to fill it?
What beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.
awesome pictures! THe mountains are so beautiful!
Those pictures are so pretty. It is so true that we sometimes just go through the motions of the day and we should stop and admire the beautiful world arounds us.
