Day two on the river was much nicer for all of us.
The clouds were light and fluffy with no rain in sight.
The rivers edge was warming up and the outside air was in the high seventies maybe even eighties.
The scenery was awesome.
The landscape was beautiful.
We were amazed at the beauty from the rivers edge.
The quiet of the outside was a great lesson for us all to slow down and truly listen.
I always love the clouds and the pictures I can find within the contrast of blue and white.
The geese swam close by as long as we were quiet and non intrusive to their place of quiet.
The water was so calm and peaceful and all we could do was sit in the silence and enjoy God’s creation.
The deer in the brush looking at us as if to say ‘why are you out there on the water watching me’ then it quickly ran away into the trees for safety and shelter.
A mamma duck and her babies swam alongside the rivers edge. They were so cute I couldn’t get a picture close enough without scaring them.
The wilderness so beautiful on this warm day on the water.
I was so glad we stayed for another adventure on our canoe.
We would have missed so much if we would have gone home too soon.
God was showing me that after a storm there is always beauty and calm we just have to see it and observe the creation around us. During this two day trip my camera had 268 pictures on it.
I am applauding…you caught it all…and the wonder, the beauty…and yes, so glad you didn't miss any of it….yes, the skies proclaim his works of his hands
Even my six year old stops and says….it is so beautiful, listen mom to the sounds…yes and yes…
Great pictures
oh, i love peaceful rides down the river. (except with seven kids, it's rarely peaceful ;))
looks like you got a front-row seat to God's awesome handiwork, here.
beautiful!
Oh my…I am behind on my blog reading. What a trooper you are/were to go on this canoe trip. I can love being outside, I enjoy camping (with hot & cold running water, flush toilet and a shower) with all my required amenities. 🙂 Being outside is an attitude changer though. Your pictures are beautiful. Good for you for stepping out of your box!
Hugs~
