Let's Get Happy

There is nothing prettier than a rosebud, and I captured one with my cell phone camera. I even nicknamed my Granddaughter Rosebud.

I have always loved nature and flowers, and waterfalls, rainbows, and anything to do with nature. I have always found God's gifts, to be miracles and HE certainly gave us gifts in nature.

I have always appreciated nature, even as a small child, and as I became a senior citizen, I found beauty in things, that I found annoying when I was younger.

Take this photo for instance, when I was younger, I didn't pay any attention to the beauty in this photo, with the snapdragons's last bud trying to outwit the winter season.

Then there are rainbows, and they never get old. They are beautiful and God's promise that HE will never again destroy the world by flooding.

Then there is the sun and moon, they never get old.

Two of my favorite flowers. You can never get enough of this beauty.

Then there is my all time favorite. I think this one is my favorite because it reminds me of waterfalls. I love waterfalls. I didn't have a photo of a waterfall, and had no access to take a picture. So I had to rely on the garden hose, and a little creativity on my part to have a picture of a splash. The next best thing to a waterfall.

I hope you enjoyed the slide show. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I agree.
