The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein. ~ Psalms24:1
Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent… ~Psalms 148:13
Sing unto the Lord: for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. ~Isaiah 12:5
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. ~ Isaiah 6:3
The flowers appear on the earth: the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. ~ Song of Solomon 2:12
Oh, wow! They are beautiful! God has so much variety and color in His world! They certainly praise the name of their Creator. These pictures weren’t all taken in your yard were they?
Oooooh. “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these” (Matthew 6:28-29).
Yes Esther they actually were!! Daniel and I have had alot of fun capturing them in their moments of glory
Gorgeous! I dare say you have “captured them in their moments of glory” in an exceptional way. God has packed such beauty in such small things, hasn’t he? Just recently it has struck me how easy it is to pass up “the fullness of the earth” which is “full of His glory”!
Wow! It’s hard to believe those pictures are really from our backyard. Excellent photography and a big “OORAAAH” to the diligent ‘caretaker.’
I just had to comment on those spectacular shots; vibrancy of color is the attraction of the photographer. Creative use of aperture really adds to the visual interest of the photos, especially “Old-fashioned phlox”. Keep planting, and keep shooting!
And when God saw all that He created, behold it was ‘Very Good.’ Thank you Jennifer and Daniel for revealing the often overlooked testimonies of God’s goodness!
Spectacular pictures.
We enjoyed reading your posts this evening.
Wow Jennifer those pictures sure remind me of summer.
