Bio: http://amazon.com/author/kellylantana-bio
Deeply loves Jesus' authenticity, courage, love, candor in difficult situations.
Enjoys God's wonders in nature:
Hummingbirds, flowers, sunsets, wildlife, stars...
Venturing outside, wandering a while amidst creation,
has a gentle way, of giving us clarity and peace...

My soul believes this is just one way,
that the heart of God, lovingly provides,
in a world becoming increasingly heartless.

Wonder of a desert hummingbird,
gracefully hovering a moment,
with lovely Salvia flowers nearby,
all nurturing a silent joy.

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.

When the lovely artistry of creation,
speaks her own quiet, illustrious language.” K.L.

A sunset photo, turned upside-down:
Now reveals a unique sunset heart,
framed by abundance of leaves –
one of my favorite images.

“In life, an unusual change of perspective, can be wise.” K.L.

“Genuine light, has a calming way, of giving illumination –
to our lives, difficult situations, challenging decisions.” K.L.

Amidst desert sunlight, the wings of an Anna’s Hummingbird,
are illuminated in a lovely way, during mid-flight.

One persevering Flame Honeysuckle floret,
yesterday in a desert garden,
after several freezing nights.

Two center flowers, display vibrant flame-like colors.

Natural surprises, a wonder and refreshment for the heart...

The beauty and wonder, of iridescence…

with one cute, tiny feather being different than the rest.

freely bestow life’s silent gifts…peacefully, quietly.
Then, keep wandering onward…with a deep smile.” K.L.

Over-flowing with blue and white sunrays, a desert #Sky
In actuality the rays fanned out, far beyond what the image is!
It was a breathtaking moment in creation…

For #BlueTue ~ Early autumn,
after another light rain shower, on a desert morning.
A wild Day Flower, a little worn, yet still choosing to bloom…

“One doesn’t need to be perfect, to bloom…
Quiet inner beauty, will still shine through.” K.L.

“Oh, little hummingbird,
your bejeweled presence alights softly upon the branch,
gazing around, keenly aware,
yet mellowing a few precious moments,
in your calm, safe desert haven…
You are a bright blessing, to a world-weary sojourner.” K.L.

“Quietly being in creation ~
The wonders, are deeply refreshing…
Natural silence, is enriching, even purifying…
And gentle clarity, alights softly, amidst one’s soul…” K.L.

Cactus Wren, on a cloudy mid-winter day,

Undeterred, our lovely moon gracefully
makes her appearance, and rises above the storm…

Desert moonrise, from behind stormy rain clouds.
Golden glow, gives a celestial sense
of gentleness, yet strength…

For #Twosday
The desert garden still has small pockets of vibrant color, and lively bee activity! This scene is amazing in a way, since we had a recent hard freeze…

I wonder, if earth’s flowers and bees know, the quiet joy their presence brings?

“Kindness, may only be a moment in time –
A smile…
A quiet gesture…
An enlightening word…
Yet resonate, far beyond any moment.” K.L.

Some butterflies and flowers are still around,
bringing calm and kindness to a world-weary soul.

Really #small bird – full of vibrant color:
a Broad-billed Hummingbird, thriving in a desert.
He’s relaxing, feathers fluffed out; on a breezy, cloudy morning.
Several tiny green feathers on head, display bright iridescence.

First flower from a re-blooming orchid, just the other day.
It’s been a few months…and now gratefully, a gentle joy –
from the patience of a persevering floral friend.
