In the middle of the torrid heat of a Texas summer, there was one fine day when the temperature stayed in the mid-70's. So my husband and I drove to a small nearby lake tucked away in the woods. With binoculars and camera in hand, we took our time discovering and appreciating the details of the handiwork of the Divine Designer.
The beauty of nature is scattered everywhere. We can't get away from it, and almost all of it is free. Its splendor resonates involuntarily in each human heart.
The peaceful lake
Marshy area of the lake
Water Lilies
Marsh Fleabane plants with
luscious hues of bubble-gum pink flowers.
Pearl Crescent Butterfly on Marsh Fleabane
A type of semi-aquatic vivid yellow buttercup
Mississippi Kite quietly scanning his territory
Elegant Great Egret in the distance
Snowy Egret patiently waiting for fish movement in the water
If you look carefully, you'll see a small bird, a Phoebe, perched
on a Water Lily seed pod.
Reflections at the end of the day.....
