God picks the best colors...
On my trip back home to IL I was captivated by the simple beauty of nature. We (especially as women) paint ourselves and dress our selves in colors in order to beautify ourselves...but it never ceased to amaze me at how God effortlessly and brilliantly decorated his flowers and trees and His nature...I know I've never seen a person dress in the blue and purples and pink and greens as I saw in some of these pictures...yes, God does pick the best colors...yes, yes He does.
for those of you who live in the midwest, you'll say "it's just a robin" but to those of us that live west you'll say "oh! it's a robin!"...sometimes it's the simple things like watching a robin look for food in the wet ground that brings back a memory of growing up...
fuschia will forever remind me of my mom and her hanging baskets in the back yard...and getting to see hummingbirds eat from them in the morning...
I think this is called an aster? but I love the vibrance of the purple...very elegant and stately...this is probably my favorite picture...
this will be forever one of my favorite flowers...not exactly but pretty dang close...my mom had baby blue ones on a trellis in our backyard in batavia that I still can smell in my mind's eye...
I was thinking of josh and lindsey with this shot...hydrangea's are going to be so beautiful linds...
these water lilies amaze me...how does something so beautiful grow from something so wet? sheer determination, I think...
