My Special Visitor

I had a special visitor at my pond the other day. It was an American bald eagle. Our running club was standing out on the road waiting for everyone to arrive and lo and behold here comes the eagle flying right over us heading up the valley I live in. When he got even with the pond I had built he suddenly turned and begin to circle it a few times.

Then to our delight the eagle landed in a tree at the back of the pond. I have a couple of geese decoys and two duck decoys sitting on the water just to decorate with. I think he may have thought that they were real or something. Anyway, I ran into the house and got my camera.

When I came out I had the camera ready and the eagle began to fly off. I was able to take a couple of pics and he was gone. He was so big! No, huge!

"Thank You Lord for letting us see one of Your most spectacular creatures."

If you are having trouble seeing him in the picture, he is on the left side of the tall tree. I promise you that the picture does not do him justice when it comes to showing how big he is. He is huge!

The Rainbow

This evening God took His paintbrush and did it again. He amazed me with the most beautiful picture in the sky. As soon as I noticed it I had to say, "Praise The Lord". I was reminded of God's promise made to man that He would not destroy man again by flood.

It was a reminder that just like He kept His promise then He will keep His other promises also. It was written all over the sky this evening that God is faithful.

Although I have seen many rainbows in my life, I still have to grab my camera and take a lot of pictures. I just want to capture the beauty so I can look at it later. This one will be my desktop picture for a long time. I hope it blesses you.
