Enjoying the out-of-doors

This is the time of year when the out-of-doors just shines. Flowers are blooming, the air is warm (and sometimes too warm), children are enjoying playing, the fireflies are flitting about the yard. Just a perfect time of year.

While I am at my daughters in New York, I am enjoying her out-of-doors. I thought I'd share some pictures with you and perhaps link to Outdoor Wednesday.

Pretty flowers in the garden

Hydrangeas thrive in this atmosphere

A dove looking for food

and

a squirrel with the food he found, munching on the lawn.

We so often fail to stop and observe our surroundings. 

And, we miss so much that God's nature has to offer.
