Over the past few days I have watched the daisy flowers (and the buds yet to bloom) in one of our flower beds do something I have found very interesting.  I have noticed that as the sun has risen the little blooms would all be facing toward the East.  Then, as the sun would set the flowers would all be facing toward the West.  I found that to be so neat that I tried to capture it on “film”.  I chose to focus on just one flower so the direction it was facing would be completely obvious with each picture.  I am challenged by the natural way this flower bends toward the sun!  May I be drawn to Jesus, the Light of the World and the Son of God, the way this flower is drawn to it’s natural light source for life – the sun!   

I usually have my camera wherever I go and when something catches my eye I just take a moment and snap away!  Here are a few things that have caught my attention lately!  For one reason or another, I find each photo lovely in its own way!   

As I look around our “yard” I have come to think of it as “Dandelion Heaven”.  The heaven part is for their sake, definitely not ours!  Of course, as any kid would, our children enjoy picking the pretty yellow weeds, I mean flowers, and blowing the puffs that rise above all the other green growing out there!  Therefore, ensuring that the dandelions will continue to enjoy growing around our place!  Thankfully, these are NOT the only color around here.  We have numerous perennials that have been planted around our place but these lovely purple flower (yes, I know, they are weeds too) are abundantly growing in a nearby corral.  I love looking at them each time we drive by.  Don’t you just want to go lay in them?!?  The last set of true flowers were given to me by my thoughtful husband.  They smelled awesome, lasted quite a while, and touched my heart.  

Before we are too far removed from Easter I wanted to post some additional pictures taken during this amazing holiday!  I LOVE blue skies!A little red maple in our yard…I love to get a Spring and Fall picture of it each year!Two kiddos ready for Easter activities!Bunnies…they are so soft!  I always forget how soft they are until I feel one again!Checking out their stash of goodies!
