Taking pictures is therapy or my "get away" from all the worries and issues that the world seems to  throw at you and lately I've had my share of them!!  One day last week I was in need of some therapy so I took a small trip around my yard looking for anything that would catch my attention.  To my surprise I found quite a few interesting things that I wasn't looking for!  First I stumble upon a small green snake in my drive way.  I thought it was sun bathing because it laid there motionless even as I slowly crept up on it.  As I focused closer through my lens I noticed that it was wounded and most likely dead.  I thought with that wound and him being motionless it was OK to take both eyes of him long enough to get a photo!  As I looked through my lens to get the shot suddenly that nasty spider below appeared as well!! Here I am trying to take peaceful pictures of nature and I stumble across two things that I dislike the most, snakes and spiders!!! I was quickly reminded that God created everything and even the things that we think are bad or not right was created in his perfect image.  I will praise him in this storm and I will lift my head!!  Here are a few scripture that I found

"God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good." (Genesis 1:31)

"Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." (John 1:3)

"Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and they were created. He set them in place for ever and ever; he gave a decree that will never pass away." (Psalm 148:1-6)

 I did capture this yellow flower coming out of the ground with a insect inside.  Thought it was pretty cool!!
