Feathered Friend

We're heading up to Estes Park for the weekend, so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get this up in time tomorrow. This is one of my sisters' parakeets, Zena. It took a loooooooooong time to get a fairly decent picture of these guys. They wouldn't stop moving their heads. (My post for the pets challenge.)

Attention Span

Introducing Rusty, the dog my sisters got for their birthday in June. This puppy sure is a little ball of energy. In this picture I like how you can see the object of his attention in the upper right. Poor bunny. Little dog, big bark.

Handiwork

I am ridiculously obsessed with clouds. Especially ones that look like this. To me, they're a little glimpse of the glory of God here on earth. His personal handiwork.

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

Fire Flower

This was taken in my neighbor's frontyard while I was walking down my street this evening. I was just waiting for someone to open the front door and look at me like I was insane.

Rain Rain Won't You Stay?

These were both taken on an especially rainy Colorado afternoon. These are 2 of about 6 that actually turned out nicely. Dumb camera, won't focus on raindrops.

My Baby

This is the first of my marigolds that we planted in biology to bloom.

Clean

This is a flower in the garden in my backyard. It had just rained and I think the combination of the white of the flower and the remaining raindrops on the plant beside it made it seem beautifully pure and clean to me.
