Moon Spectacular 2011

And when you look up into the sky
and see the sun, moon, and stars -
all the forces of heaven -
don't be seduced into worshiping them.
The LORD your God gave them
to all the peoples of the earth.
Deuteronomy 4:19 NLT
















This moon was so much fun to shoot. I spent the whole evening watching it rise higher in the dark sky. As it ascended higher, the sky began to glow. Before long, it was as if the 'keeper of the lights' in God's heavens had just turned on all the ceiling globes. The night sky and everything in it - began to dance. Shadows of Light adorned the heavens and I was star struck to behold it's beauty. Awww ... the shalom beauty of God's handiwork. It never ceases to amaze me.

COMING SOON

Just reserving the place... development to begin soon - hopefully. I love photography but had nothing but my simple cell phone camera. It actually surprised me with its quality. I got a small Nikon Coolpix S8000 for christmas - so I'm snapping away.

God always speaks to me through nature so I thot this would be fun to try. Not a pro - just love snapping pictures. Many times they are sign posts - pointing to a moment when God spoke a cherished message to me. Its fun and relaxing - a good change from the ordinary day. In my position - I don't get out and about - but I'm always looking out my windows to the world around me and God brings things up close and personal sometimes. I'm excited to share some of these moments with you.

So join me for some simple shots of His amazing splendor.

See ya back here soon.

Blessings

    Hi Patrina,
    I never even knew you had this blog, until this morning (530 a.m. here) when I saw your comment over at CLint's blog and decided I'd pay you a visit... kinda miss you, it's been quite a while since we last "talked"...

    It is amazing how we are alike in many ways. God has also often spoken to me through nature - through cloud formations, an unexpected rainbow, the rising and the ebbing away of the tide at the seashore, the many flowers that I see each day, the turning over of a new leaf, even the way my favorite vine over my front door was destroyed by a sudden storm and I had to cut it down.

    And yes, I have taken hundreds of photographs too.

    I look forward to seeing the world and how God speaks, through your eyes.

    Blessings on this Passover week, dear friend.

    Love
    Lidj

    yen,
    I'm honored by your kind words. Thanks for visiting my new blog. I love your bird shots! I'll have some of those too - but I don't have to camp out to get them :) I just look outside my window.

    Sherry,
    I just saw your comment tonight. I was so pleased to have you visit. Your comment on my other site was such a blessing to me. Sounds as if you're a prayer warrior too.

    Thanks for following. I'll try to visit you more often. You inspire me. I love your art and your personality just shines. I love that you are 6 years older than me. All my good friends are at least 7 years older. Guess that means I grew up too fast..or something. :)

    keep those precious mockingbirds safe!

    hugs to you Sherry
