Throwback to Burney Falls

THROWBACK to 2014: Burney Falls

This picture of Burney Falls taken at McArthur-Burney State Park in Northern California is still one of my favorites.

Among the prettiest waterfalls I’ve ever seen, this constant flowing stream of water reminds me to focus on those blessings!

Good Morning Glory!

During my walk this morning, I came across some Morning Glory intertwined with stalks of corn.  They were so beautiful that I just had to share. ENJOY!

 

Psalm 119:1-8

When my husband and I decided to walk down the path of scripture memorization for the summer, we landed on the 119th Psalm–breaking it up into many sections. We just completed the first eight verses and would like to share these poetic words of David as they intertwine with his love of God’s law.

God is Our Refuge & Strength

A walk along Moonstone Beach near the little seaside town of Cambria—tucked in among the mountains of the Central California Coast—provided my husband and I with plenty of photo opportunities. Here is a picture of some seals resting amid the waves, which repeatedly crashed against the rocks. The way these animals seem so oblivious to the constant water spray reminded me of the verses in Psalms that I have attached to this picture.

Meandering along the Cold Springs Nature Trail, Picture #3

It’s always fun meeting new people on the trail. These two ladies were the only other ones we saw the morning my husband and I hiked the Cold Springs Nature Trail. We took turns passing each other while pausing every so often to gaze upon the beauty of nature.

Cold Springs Nature Trail, Picture #1

Yes! My husband and I were able to enjoy a stroll along the Cold Springs Nature Trail this week. This trail is located in the remote Mineral King Region of Sequoia National Park, part of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in Central California.

It did not disappoint! This two-mile path rambled along through fields of wildflowers and hugged the East Fort of the Kaweah River, where several small, rushing waterfalls helped to make our day special.

During the rest of this month, I will feature a different picture of this magnificent nature trail and pair it with a praise to the Creator who makes all nature beautiful! Enjoy!

Teddy Bear Cholla

This photo was taken in the Arizona Desert on Route 66 near Oatman, Arizona. I located a picture of this same plant on a website regarding desert life. Near as I can tell, this cactus is classified as Cylindropuntia bigelovii, but more affectionately called “Teddy Bear Cholla.”
