Deeply loves Jesus' authenticity, courage, love, candor in difficult situations.
Enjoys God's wonders in nature:
Hummingbirds, flowers, sunsets, wildlife, stars...

Hummingbirds, are earth’s tiniest birds –
Even so, they:
Diligently face life’s long hauls &
when needed, are wisely bold and courageous!

“O LORD…
In wisdom you have made them all….”
Psalm 104:24 NLT 2015
Soft pink wildflower, fairly large,
on a little cactus, full of sharp spines.

Lesson in Creation:
amidst life’s sharp edges, painful challenges,
one can still strongly bloom –
with gentleness, with inner loveliness.

Winter wonder –
Butterfly, mid-January, amidst blue Plumbago flowers…

“When life again becomes over-saturated with difficulties;
Tell me of the wonders, amidst the silence of blooms…” K.L.

A soaring desert Hawk, flying gracefully across the blue sky.

They never take their freedom for granted…

“Just ask the animals, and they will teach you.
Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.”

Just #one of myriad aerial wonders, amidst our world…

Anna’s Hummingbird, relaxing on a sunny desert day.
Others nearby; but hummers prefer to relax in a solitary way.
This little fellow stayed a while!

Desert sunlight,
illuminating a yellow butterfly on wildflowers.
Giving brightness, calmness.

In a world of increased pain, injustice, suffering –
may we find moments of light,
to brighten, our inner lives.

Deserts, surprisingly, can flourish with butterflies,
if the summer rains are good.
Awesome for them…and a deep joy for us.

In late afternoon shade, these two butterflies stayed together,
as they softly fluttered amidst lovely Lantana flowers.

Desert sunset, a deeply vivid summer evening.
My soul was stilled…in the quiet way of wonder.

Opening our souls to moments of stillness & wonder = a gift
that gives, long after the moments have passed… We need this.

Sometimes, we simply need a reason to smile…

Lively little desert bird, called a Yellowthroat,
curiously watching me photograph him.
Such an inquisitive darling…

become consoling gifts for our hurting souls,
from God’s deep, loving heart…” K.L.

Lovely purple Mist Flowers, growing wild in a desert…

Desert moon nearly full, sometime after dawn, late summer…
The softness of her colors in a blue ambience, is quite lovely.

Seasons change; colors arrive and depart;
yet one’s inner essence will remain.

Surely, a gentle possibility for all who hold,
a genuine love in their soul, heart, mind,
for earth’s natural beauty and marvels:

“Blessed be the longing that brought you here
And quickens your soul with wonder.”

Hummingbirds – are earth’s only birds,
that can truly fly backwards on a regular basis!

A Rufous Hummingbird, actually flying backwards, mid-flight.

A Mourning Dove, after a snowy desert night,
perched high in Mesquite tree.
Not stressing, but actually resting amidst it all.

Various moments during the day – be like a dove.
Rest a while… Peacefulness…
Refreshment and renewal, do wonders.

“For the world was created with wondrous, divine love;
not to be mistreated by human agendas,
but deeply and humbly cherished as we sojourn –
Looking often-times to these creations,
reflections of the One’s wisdom, love, beauty.” K.L.

For #Twosday:
On a very cloudy, desert winter day,
two Jackrabbits are foraging for food.
Then a tiny opening in the clouds,
gently illuminates the mated pair,
as they tenderly care for one another.
