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
A hummingbird, gracefully airborne in the desert.

Lovely harvest moon, shining beyond
silhouettes of tree-top branches…from years ago.

“To everything there is a season,
and a time for every purpose under heaven.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1, Bible

Perseverance, amidst the seasons of our lives…

#Photography #Inspiration #Moon #Skygazing #Creation #Faith
The moon is a lovely yellow, with a deep golden outline all around the edge. The darker areas of the moon are visible, but lighter in color than usual… Bible verse is from the Berean Standard Bible translation.

Desert sunset with autumn colors,
amidst the fresh air of early-autumn evening…

Brief yet special beauty, of enlivening celestial moments…
Moments, we may carry with us, within our souls.

These vibrant clouds began as solely blueish-grey small clouds, gradually becoming vivid orange larger clouds, with a golden cast on some… Silhouettes of slender tree branches, grace the left side of image.

One plant, two unique views: #Stunday

1st: Canna Lily flowers of bright yellow,
accented with vibrant red-orange speckles & solids.

2nd: the marvelous leaves of deep green,
with one or two maroon ribbon accents.

Full view = best display.

Canna Lily blooms, with a large bud ready to open soon… Lovely flower petal contrasts. Canna Lily leaves, same plant, most are accented with 1 or 2 deep maroon ribbons… Eye-catching contrast.

A sweet hummingbird, relaxing in the desert,
with eyes peacefully closed…

An autumn, desert garden #scape…
Vibrant purple and orange flowers,
with a grateful Swallowtail Butterfly.

Small joys, are still joys to the heart; & a balm for the soul…

#Photography #Butterfly #FlowersOnFriday #Peace #Flowers
#DesertGarden #NaturePhotography #Joy #Rest #GoOutside
The lilac-purple flowers with small white centers, are Trailing Lantana; the orange (with a splash of pink) flowers with vivid yellow centers, are Purslane – both thrive in the desert… The butterfly is a large Swallowtail, mostly black & light-yellow in color: several blue & orange accents are on outside of lower wing. Seen early October, a few years ago.

Early autumn, in the desert…
Even then, a desert is deeply alive…
Miracles of life, in small lovely scenes – are still miracles…

Migrating hummingbird, with some wing motion,
seeking nectar at bright orange Trumpet Vine flowers.

A tiny green & grey-white hummingbird, with some motion seen in edges of wing feathers & also outer tail feathers. Taken the other day.

Even small scenes of beauty in creation,
have a way of touching the heart,
causing one’s soul to smile…
Vivid yellow Daisies, growing wild in front of vibrant purple Angelonia blooms. Two tiny pollinators, bee-like, are on each of the tallest yellow wildflowers… Taken on a cloudy desert afternoon, late August.

Lovely sunbeams,
were dancing softly, across desert sky and land…

They suddenly appeared one cloudy, summer evening.

Creation’s uniqueness, always a lovely gift, of God’s deep heart.

Radiating from various grey & white clouds above, are several sunrays beaming straight down, each one unique in width. Most are a translucent white; one on far left has denser white at base… There’s a faint hint of turquoise in upper-center of image, gently wafting downward – something of a mystery how this occurred… Taken a couple years ago.

Holding a gift of raindrops, gently in a desert.

Vibrant-blue wild Day Flower, in a sea of green leaves,
holds several fresh raindrops, gracefully upon its petals.

Just yesterday morning.

It was a summer of light rain showers, & these shade-loving wildflowers bloomed after nearly every rain, for a few days each time – & are still blooming in early autumn. Deep blue, with a vivid yellow center.

Moments of wonder in a desert,
watching a young Anna’s Hummingbird,
finding nectar in Cape Honeysuckle blooms,
while hovering gracefully in flight…

Photo taken with telephoto lens, so to not disturb this little flying jewel… Various hues of emerald-green feathers, with soft-grey mixed in. Some green feathers are shimmering amidst the ambient light… The flowers are vibrant orange & trumpet shaped… Background consists of flower buds, & the desert sand.

Even quiet joy, reaches a person deep within…

Not long after dawn –
a cheerful Orchid presence, peacefully greeting the new day…

Flowers have a lovely way, in this chaotic world,
of bringing quiet joy to world-weary humans.
