Trees "that look at God all day"

    TREES

THINK that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.

by: Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)

Nature's Contrast - Early Spring in Florida while Snow falls in Minnesota

These photos were taken within three days of each other.  A cold wintry day in Minnesota as Azaleas are blooming in North Florida.

Snow, Ice and Frozen Lake time for fishing huts!

Bees in Early Spring

Today feels like the first day of  spring.  Literary thousands of birds have descended on the trees in the neighborhood, the flowers are starting to bloom and the bees are busy.  Yes folks, it is the season for the birds and the bees

Cloud of angels circling the Earth

At sunrise, the rays were hitting the side of the mountain. There was a pillar crown of clouds on top and luminous Angels circling the mountain. A glorious morning to behold.

Angel Wings or a Spirit Apparition at Lake Granby

The clouds were shaped like angel wings descending down to earth and took flight across the lake.

Grand Lake Morning Mist and Evening Twlight

 Early Morning Mist settles on the mountains near Grand Lake.  Felt like we were driving on top of clouds.

Evening is coming and the twlight of colors dance from the sky to the lake.
