My kids have made fun of me (on more than one occasion I might add)... "Mom look there's a leaf...you better take a picture of it!" Well, I usually do.


I am in awe of nature and find beauty all around me. Quite simply...nature is cool! 

Whether it is the dew on the fence...


or dew dripping on the wildflowers like diamonds...


I see beauty everywhere I look. Yes even in the water trough.


We set out on a hike one day and I was giddy with excitement at all of the cool mushrooms I found! One more beautiful than the next!






On a frosty morning I find beauty in those little frozen crystals.



Nature even makes the best patterns!



Nature provides beauty in every season...

Spring and summer give way to vibrant colors and lots of interesting creatures.








Fall holds onto the colors as long as it can before its winter nap...










  And even in winter, and among all the white snow and barren trees, you find beauty...





Take time to explore your surroundings, you won't be disappointed. 

All of the pictures on this post are just from around our property, I feel so blessed to have so much beauty all around me just waiting for me to find it. 


Take time to breathe in your surroundings...





Every sunrise and sunset...








   

Every cloud in the sky...






Even the stormy skies hold beauty...





God gave us a magnificent world, and you do not have to travel far to admire it...
for me and my family...it's our own backyard. 

  
 




 I challenge you to go out today and find out just how cool nature really is!
