Beauty

God blesses us with much beauty.

 A scissor-tail came to visit in the early evening.

 Baby cardinals outside my kitchen window!

 

Caught this one's first flight into the tree

Just before his first flight!

Momma bird watches over her baby

This little finch is blind.  We thought he wouldn't last long, but he keeps flying around somehow.  He's been here for several weeks.  Not sure how he makes it but he does!

I sing the mighty power of God, that made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at God’s command, and all the stars obey.

     I sing the goodness of the Lord, who filled the earth with food,
     Who formed the creatures through the Word, and then pronounced them good.
     Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, where’er I turn my eye,
     If I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky.

There’s not a plant or flower below, but makes Thy glories known,
And clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from Thy throne;
While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care;
And everywhere that we can be, Thou, God art present there.
