God's Handiwork

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands." Psalm 19:1

Yesterday, some of the kids went with me to feed the geese and ducks. This time there were two duck families. The males were not enjoying each other's company--to put it mildly.




This cowardly male chased off the wife of the other male.


God must have had fun creating this beautiful creature!


The handsome couple swims off with full tummies

Then we headed down our favorite nature trail to see if the leaves were at their peak yet. There are a lot of oak and pine trees, so lots of green, but plenty of color, also.










This 'Daddy-long-leg spider' and I went eye-to-eye. Ewwwww. Despite my dislike for spiders, I have to admire God's creativity.





And admiring God's handiwork in nature wouldn't be complete without admiring His creation of cuteness...




Jeff gets tackled by a hoard of adoring fans. He is a rich man.

I then begged, bribed, threatened, cajoled asked my older kids to pose for some pictures in lieu of the absurdly priced school photos. Yes, they were $70 per child for the smallest package!
