God’s Spring creations in Texas

Don and I rode around Round Rock today, looking for wildflowers to photograph.  We found some!

Lantana.

Bluebonnet.

Milkweed flower.

A mystery flower.. very tiny.

Indian or Prairie Paint Brush and Maximillian Sunflower.

More Bluebonnets.

More Indian Paint Brush.

A medley.

Maximillian Sunflower… maybe a little larger than a quarter.

Looking right down on top of an Indian Paint Brush.

Fleabane… flower the size of a pea.

When I was a kid, this was called an Indian Blanket.

Evening Primrose.

Dandelion flower.

Dandelion seeds… or per the grandkids, ‘blowy things.’

Firewheel.

I could have stood here all day.

A field of bluebonnets.

           

DAILY VERSE
Burst into song, you mountains,
you forests and all your trees,
for the LORD has redeemed Jacob,
he displays his glory in Israel.  - Isaiah 44:23

DAILY QUOTE
The creation is quite like a spacious and splendid house, provided and filled with the most exquisite and the most abundant furnishings. Everything in it tells us of God. - John Calvin

DAILY THOUGHT

God brings joy to our lives in various ways: a kind word from a friend, an accomplishment at work, the gentle whisper of His Spirit. But throughout the ages, God has brought joy to us through the wonder of His creation. Feeling down? Maybe all you need is a walk in the woods.
Consider the reaction of Carl Boberg when he looked at the world God made:
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook
And feel the gentle breeze;
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
Take time to notice and celebrate God’s greatness and gifts, and you’ll suddenly find many reasons to be joyful.

Thank You, God, for the beauty of creation. Help me to see You in the world around me today. Amen.
