Trees

Flowers

Bee hive. Hornets I think. I was so surprised this hive was so close to the ground. I is about fur feet from the ground.

Swamp grass about six feet tall. It’s beautiful in the Fall.

Oh God

Don’t let me wander

Keep me in that good place

Hold me there

Don’t let me turn away

Keep me next to You

I was just walking along and saw this tan color among the bushes. When I zoomed in on it with my camera I discovered it was a young door, and he was looking at me just as I was looking at him.

Most of the Minnesota wildflowers have faded away, but there are a few little ones still, and an abundance of yellow sunflowers.

This little bunny was fearless; he wasn’t old enough to be afraid.

This one looked at me for a long time.

At first I didn’t like these droopy looking flowers; but I have grown the like them. So beautiful.

I love how these sun flowers always face toward the sun.
