ice, frozen solid, hard and smooth and wet
running water, freezing cold (I wanted to drink some)
scalloped edges; pretty, I see hearts
sunshine
frozen pinecone, brown and orange
looking down the bank at the stream
there were beautiful ripples and patterns
a rainbow of colors in a tiny bubble trapped under the ice
amazing
like velvet
down low, just above the water and ice, wonder of whites and waves
the sound of the rushing water smooths my cares away….
“God made us curious adventurers and granted us permission to explore His creation through everything from a telescope to a microscope.” (including a camera lens
) “Because God made us this way, we have an insatiable curiousity that begins once we are born and continues throughout our life as we seek to experience and learn, travel the world, and explore every nook of creation.” Mark Driscoll, Doctrine

Thank you for being an explorer, a marveler, a student of God’s good pleasure and not merely a passer-by.It is indeed significant that God planted Adam in a garden, in the midst of His nature. We are indebted to your perspective, captured beautifully in images.
The ice formations are beautiful. I especially like the bubble rainbow.
WOW! So incredibly beautifully captured. Amazing.
I love the scalloped edges, the rainbow bubble and the quote — there’s so much to see all around us if we just take the time to look!
So beautiful!
