Nature + Two Eyes = Joy!

I love nature! I find myself filled with awe when I see the miracle a tiny seed can perform;

when I feast my eyes on a mountainside vibrant with a plethora of color;

when I'm on an airplane, soaring through and above the clouds;
when I bend down low to examine the earth beneath me;
or when I anxiously watch the eastern sky change colors until the sun peeks its head over the mountain top to greet me.

Skyscapes, landscapes, mountainscapes, and oceanscapes are some of my favorite things in this world.
I LOVE the camera my parents gave me for Christmas. Thanks, Grammi and Paw Paw! I bet you guys are glad I don't fill up your memory card with the hundreds of pictures I take of nature anymore! I think we all should take the time to really look at and appreciate this wonderful world our Savior made for us, no matter how busy or stressful life can be.
