Isn’t He Handsome…

If only we could look at the beauty of our life, of this planet, and of humanity as we look at the beauty of a mountain, seeing the total majesty not the irregularities.

I had the opportunity last evening to view a documentary film about the threat and disappearance of our bees. I say “our bees” because the bees are the purest of nature and they keep our world alive.

If you are not familiar with the importance of bees and what they do for us take a look at the link below and look for an opportunity to view this film. If you think there is nothing “you” can do to save “our bees”…think again. You may already be doing something if you plant a garden or flowers.

Here is a link to the trailer – http://www.queenofthesun.com

I thought I would share some of the photos I have taken over the past few years of these beauties that vist my gardens.

This photo is in my cookbook

Have a beautiful day…

On this father’s day I cannot help but to reflect on how my father was and still is an inspiration to me. I can only hope that should you be viewing this post you feel the same about your father.

No one can ever compare two fathers alike, as each one is his own man in how he views the world, teaches his children, loves his wife, works his job and worships his God.

I am a fortunate daughter to have been blessed with a father who has set the values and truths needed to be productive in this world and the mindset that the most valuable things come with a free price tag.

These photos reflect the very essence of what he taught me when I see God’s existence here on earth.

I wish for you and your father to be filled with the free things, this day and always.

I have returned from a week in the Rocky’s.

One of my first nature experiences was near the Mount of the Holy Cross. I spotted a Moose in the flat lands and I had the pleasure of watching from on top a large rock.
