Simple Captures: Day 9

Saturday was busy. I got up at 9:30, left at 11, and didn't get back 'til 5.

We made a trip to Cincinnati, and on the way we saw these. We call them cloud makers. They're so cool looking! 

After coming back from Cincinnati, we went to a local thrift store, but it was closed for some reason. :-( We ended up going to a Goodwill, and my sister and I found some clothes.

I was very excited to find a denim skirt! It's really nice too! 

The cloud makers made a heart shaped cloud! :-D

Do you ever find good deals at thrift stores?

Walking

First of all, Happy President's Day!

Second, and most important:

Yesterday my dad and I went for a walk in the woods/fields around our house. 

It was kinda windy, and cold, but it was fun too. =) 

So here are some of the things we saw:

Apple trees!

Bones in the field 

I love views like this!

More bones.

Something was apparently tied up here...

The view from the hill was gorgeous!

Another field we found.

There were SO many turkey tracks! We've seen a lot of them around lately.

Turkeys. I wish I had gotten a better picture! They flew away once they saw us, and they actually ended up clearing the trees to the left, which is pretty amazing for turkeys!

In the woods.

This was ice. We walked across it. Yes, I *was* nervous. 

This was a logging trail they used last year. There are so many branches! 

And we saw a lot of this. The deer really like the apple trees around here.

So this was my fun Sunday afternoon. I should be back to posting regularly soon. 

Oh, by the way. I just finished changing the blog around. Opinions? I wanted something with less Christmas and more spring-ish colors. Plus I wanted something up to date with my life.

I also made some new buttons, so you can go grab one if you want.  They're all on the Link To Me page at the top, plus there's one on the sidebar. 

How was your weekend?

He fills my life with good things...

It's March! That said, in exactly 2 weeks there's a special day. Can you guess? I won't tell. You'll just have to wait. ;)

Once upon a time there was a girl. Excuse me, *young lady*. Who thought that her photography was awful.

Although many...people told her that her photography was oh, say, pretty good, she never thought (until now) that it was anything special. She always thought that her photographs were, well, yucky and horrible.

And even though she liked putting the photos in her scrapbook, she thought that even if somebody did sneak a peak at them, it wouldn't matter because they wouldn't like them. (This was because she didn't like them, you see.)

But then, one day, she found a little note tucked inside her scrapbook. I never got her picture of that so...I can't post it and I don't know what it said. But! I do have this:

And from then on, she learned to love every photograph she took because it was a gift. A gift that her Creator had given her, and she wanted to use her gift to give honor and glory to Him.

The end

And now, just for fun, here's a little photo shoot the young lady from the (above) story did with our cat Gertrude. Once Gertrude settled down in the sun, the photographer got some great pictures. ;)

Alright. Vote! I wanna know which picture (of Gertrude) you like best. =) There's a poll at the top on the side bar. If you want, you can leave a comment telling why you liked a particular picture. Thank you!!

Also, if I follow your blog and you have a blog button, it's probably on my sidebar. Check it out, see if yours is there, and if it's not leave a comment to let me know! =)

Blessings on your Sunday! =)

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;

Streams of mercy, never ceasing,

Call for songs of loudest praise.

Teach me some melodious sonnet,

Sung by flaming tongues above;

Praise th mount! I'm fixed upon it,

Mount of Thy Redeeming love.

Here I raise my Ebenezer;

Hither by Thy help I'm come;

And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,

Safely to arrive at home.

Jesus sought me when a stranger,

Wandering from the fold of God;

He, to rescue me from danger,

Interposed His precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtor

Daily I'm constrained to be!

Let that grace now like a fetter,

Bind my wandering heart to Thee.

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,

Prone to leave the God I love;

Here's my heart, O take and seal it,

Seal it for Thy courts above.

O that day when freed from sinning,

I shall see Thy lovely face;

Clothed then in blood washed linen

How I'll sing Thy sovereign grace;

Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,

Send thine angels now to carry

Me to realms of endless day.

~ Robert Robinson, 1757

I've gotten a new look...

My blog has, that is!

Hello friends! What do you think? Like it?

So, as I haven't changed my blog background or header since I started blogging, I decided it was time for a change. =)

Changes always seem so fresh and...new! =P

So, goodbye old header, I liked you when I started but it's time to go and hope you'll be picked out again next year.

And as for you, blog background, I forgot already what you looked like to I says goodbye to you.

So, I'd love to hear what you think of the new look, background, header, new colors...WDYT?

In Christ,

Miss Bea
