Well, it may not be the wild beauty of Doe River Gorge, but a walk down the lane today just goes to show that no matter where we may be there are evidences of God's love and beauty all around.....

These honeysuckle remind me so much of my childhood, when the sweet smell of honeysuckle heralded the arrival of summer....and I remember the time my older brother, Ray, taught me how to suck the "honey" out of the end....aaahhh...the simple days of childhood!
And just a little further down the country lane, these wild daisies were proudly lifting their heads against the wind that had picked up....shining out there in the field of grass....not caring if anyone saw them or not. But we did, and we appreciated!


Looks like this little bug was enjoying the daisies, too....tho' I don't think it was the beauty that got him, but rather the pollen in that pretty yellow center!
Another part of "nature-watching" that I have always enjoyed is observing the myriad birds that come to our feeder whenever we put it out. Shortly after we arrived here, Willie braved the mud and muck to put up my feeder and stock it with seed. We waited, and waited, and waited....never really saw any birds enjoying our largesse. Not that is, until today! I am sitting here now watching four goldfinches gorge themselves....
God really IS the master designer...they are so beautiful....and I am so enjoying His creation!
