A Calming Outdoor Wednesday

 Joining Susan's Outdoor Wednesday

This is a week in which our schedule
makes calm a bit difficult to find.  
However, I discovered a moment
of joy by looking out my front 
window yesterday afternoon.
I grabbed the camera because this 
is what I saw.

You know the power of beauty to soothe.
I believe it is a very direct gift of our 
Creator to His creation.

Seeing HIS Provision in the bales of corn
stalks.  There will be some very happy cows
in the cold of winter!


In return they will produce some amazing
milk to make us strong and healthy.

Seeing HIS creative touch in the amazing roses,




and mallow flowers.  

Loving it...and loving HIM!

G'morn, Becky ~ Hard as I try, I can never get my bales of hay pics to come out, you have captured them so beautifully.

That rose is BREATHTAKING!

Have a great week ~

Many delights to see just beyond your windows! Those roses are beyond fantastic and the mallow flowers...never knew what they were before. We don't see good old-fashioned hay bales like that anymore. Your neighbor must have some good-working old equipment.

Beautiful Becky and I loved seeing the old fashioned rectangular hay bales! When we drive up to Vermont now, all we see are the large circular ones.

Fabulous photos Becky! Beautiful and serene.

I noticed Oliver's picture on the sidebar and chuckled when I read the caption. I have a few of those... Amazing how quickly they worm their way into our hearts.
