To Have My Senses Put In Order

"I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order."  ~  John Burroughs

It's hard to beat nature for soothing the soul.  If you are feeling a little extra stressed or overwhelmed by the events of life....I encourage you to take some time and breathe in God's gift to us.

This sweet one that I photographed on Sunday certainly knows how to appreciate the beauty of nature.

As I sit here writing this post, I can hear the birds chirping out my door, it sounds as tho they are calling me to join them, because I certainly cannot enjoy this spring beauty indoors.

"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life."  ~John Burroughs

Scavenger Hunt Sunday The May 19, 2013 Edition

Oops again, have missed a couple of weeks.  Either I wasn't motivated, or no time...probably a little of each.  Last weekend was very busy and I am surprised I managed to get it together this week, altho some of mine are a bit of a stretch.  I should entitle this Green Scavenger Hunt Sunday because every image I have is predominately green.  This week's challenges are:

• Three
• Hand(s)
• Fence
• Cuddly
• Sign

First up...this ivy that grows all up the side of my house has three lobes on its leaves.

It is going to take many hands to get rid of all the dandelions in my yard this year....PS, this is kind of a stretch.

The flowers from the Bridal Wreath bush are hanging on the fence.

Mr. Rabbit is all cuddly in his bed of ground cover....(but it looks like one is growing up his nose, snort)

When the red markings on the rose leaves begin to show it is a sure sign that roses will follow soon.

Until next time.....
