Oldy Garden Photos - Spring

Spring, like a gentle smiling hand, has finally arrived in this part of the world, calling out on all the season's beautiful, warm and sunny joys: birds singing and chirping in the bush and splashing up water from the bird-baths, dazzling blue skies, and fresh-sun-kissed flowers and green-lands. Being busy with schooling as of late I haven't been outside much lately so I thought to share some old archive pictures from last Spring which I had captured in our backyard. Sometimes, the seasons come back to us suddenly and capture our hearts with fresh joy and hope. That has been the feeling of this Spring for me!

¹⁰ My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.
¹¹ For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
¹² The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
¹³ The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away!'

-Song of Solomon 2: 10-13

Bay Flowers

Some months ago, we discovered a lovely bay surrounded by a quiet children's park and dining benches for picnics. Off in the distance, we could see the white little boats sailing on the clear blue water, and the blue and white hills of distant islands melted into the horizon.The view were lovely, a photographer's paradise you might say. But sadly, that day our camera wasn't working all too good... it was nearly out of battery and I couldn't do much zooming, so the pictures were few and some rather blurry. But there were some lovely flowers about, and thankfully I WAS able to take shots of them:

"The flowers appear on the earth; 

the time of the singing of birds is come,

 and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land..."

~Song of Solomon 2: 12

Little Shots of Beauty

In the last few days throughout the holidays, I've been able to capture some stuff on my "rainbow lens" as I like to call it, thanks to go being able to go out a bit more often and seeing things. Though sadly, our camera has been playing up a bit with the batteries so it got me frustrated sometimes....

anyway... here are some shots...

enjoy!!!

Trust in the LORD, and do good;
         Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
 Delight yourself also in the LORD,
         And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
        Commit your way to the LORD,
         Trust also in Him,
         And He shall bring it to pass.
 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
         And your justice as the noonday. 

Psalm 37: 3-6
