No More A Secret

My nephew Timothy captured this Great Egret on Sunday as it seemed to be standing strong during Sandy’s 41 mph winds. Thanks Tim, I thought it  great example of what my reactions should be during the storms of life ~ stand ... then  rise above  them !                     “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” ~ Isaiah 43:2 (NLT) Please left click three times to see a larger view of photos

Early this morning, I participated in a Fall Tree Identification Walk at the Norfolk Botanical Garden. This tree was a part of the educational tour. Needless to say, it captivated my attention and I had to share it. I hope you enjoy its dazzling beauty as much I did. Heavenly Father for another day to experience family, friends, freedom and the beauty of Your creation, I am thankful!   "Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.” ~ John 15:5 Photo: Black GumTree (Nyssa Sylvatica) Please left click 3 times to see a larger photo image.

Eye stopping beauty ... beauty defying description … beauty delicately created by the hand of the Creator ... the Creator whose beauty defies human description and comprehension!   Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness. ~ Psalm 145:3 (NLT)   Norfolk Botanical Garden   Castorbean Plant (Ricinus Communis) Please left click three times for a larger photo view.
