I loved how a reflection of light formed a shield over the sun. It brought to mind Psalm 84:11. See how God is both a sun and shield to us.

Sundials, in their simplest form, tell time, via a mark created from the shadow of the sun. See how you can leave a mark for God’s kingdom.

A goat parent nudged its newborn to get it “on its feet.” Sometimes God does this with His kids in order to move us in His direction.

I loved seeing this bridge—as a frame—for the sea, beyond. No matter how we see our lives, God is looking at us, from an eternal viewpoint.

This fountain provided an invitation-type of setting. Come and enter in. Sit a moment and find, peace. That’s what God’s presence, provides.

These “molded” sandcastles caught my eye … don’t we wish life was like this, carefully ordered? Come see how to let God shape you, instead.

Local kids had created artwork of these pavers. The pieces became stepping stones. Likewise, God uses everything, to design/refine our lives

I thought this Red-winged black bird’s pose, could only be described as “territorial.” That’s the kind of care God takes of us.

These ducks posed as if to form a “family portrait.” Come see how how this scene relates to us being part of the family of God.

This Yellow Peony's floral meaning is likened to the Proverbs 31 woman. Come see the ways that it can be compared.

This rabbit was getting a new fur coat for Summer. Come see how God wants to complete the same transformation in us.

As I was thinking of the Pledge of Allegiance (to the flag), God’s Spirit turned the idea--into a prayer of allegiance—to honor Him.

How can a simple firework illustrate how to serve the Lord? Because God’s Spirit indwells the soul, we cannot help but share … His light!

I love how Psalm 121:1-3, both asks and answers; ”Where does my help come from?” See how these simple verses can be applied to our lives.

Pathways are always before us. Jeremiah 6:16 and Matthew 7:7-8 provide us wise counsel for how God wants to direct our steps.

Isaiah 53 says that Jesus had no majesty to attract Him, yet I've always wondered if it was His eyes that conveyed His love for us.

I loved discovering that our finches had filled our birdhouse to capacity, much like a cocoon. See how God wants to draw you near, likewise.

How can a baby bunny running for cover in the rocks teach us how to hide ourselves in Christ? Psalm 32:7 and Proverbs 18:10 are good clues.
