When I stop to take a photo it’s because something about what I’m seeing has to be captured. And most of the time it’s not just one thing. It’s the whole of it.
A shed and a greenhouse in the middle of a lush field on a hot July evening. No filters or edits needed.
The rosy sky and the emerald field. The tall grass in the foreground and the trees in the back. And the magnificent sun settling down. The beauty is overwhelming, the colors astounding……and I get to see things like this every day if I will just look.
I was walking on my country roads when I took this photo. My old country roads where I used to live. I was probably tired from a day’s work with more to do when I finished my walk. Whatever my mood when I started, I was in a better one when I was through.
Because I’m in awe. And grateful. And I pray I never get used to this.
The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the skies announce what his hands have made.
Day after day they tell the story;
night after night they tell it again.
They have no speech or words;
they have no voice to be heard.
But their message goes out through all the world;
their words go everywhere on earth.
The sky is like a home for the sun.
The sun comes out like a bridegroom from his bedroom.
It rejoices like an athlete eager to run a race.
The sun rises at one end of the sky
and follows its path to the other end.
Nothing hides from its heat.
Psalm 19:1-6 NCV

We have the same sky for the challenge!
Wow, what a gorgeous photo!! How are your morning jogs going in your new digs?
Monday I went to the park. The same park I walked in over 20 years ago when I was in college and lived at home with my parents. It was a good run.
Beautiful!
Thank you. It’s one of my faves.
And the last verse of Psalm 19, verse 14, has one of my favorite prayers: “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
Yes that one is a beautiful prayer.
Yes, I love morning workouts, even if I don’t have the gorgeous scenery in your picture. And I always end up in a better mood than when I started…even so, It’s really hard to drag my butt out of bed sometimes. Thanks for sharing your photo. It’s gorgeous.
Thanks Lonna!
“And I pray I never get used to this.” Very nice! It’s sad when we lose that “wow” factor. There are so many amazing and beautiful things around us if we pay attention.
Yes may we forever have eyes that see, truly see.
This photo is cute, and the Psalm gives it a breath of life.Thanks for sharing, Marie.
Your blog is so ravishing. 🙂
Thank you!
