earth day

what a gift creation is! i love the new seasons and being surprised by familiar and beautiful sights. i was walking to the library this week and happened to have my camera with me and was able to capture the dogwood and apple blossoms.
rob and i were talking the other day about how some of the things in creation are simply there FOR US. i feel like some of the beautiful flowers i've gotten to enjoy the past few days are some of these things. they don't really have much purpose except for us to enjoy. thanks, God. i am continually amazed by your gifts to me.
