Elephant Mountain

I see things.

Not always what others may see.

But I see pictures in God nature scenes.

I see the upper portion of an elephant on the side of the mountain.

It is the head and trunk of an Asian elephant.

Do you see it?We cannot alway see things the way others do. We are all not wire the same way. This is a good thing.

God created in each of us special gifts. He allows us to go through trials to strenghten these gifts.
Sometime the gifts do not show up until the later years of our life.

It has only been this past year that I find myself looking for opportunity to take pictures of any and everything. I like viewing the world through my camera now. I see some of the stranges things that way, like this elephant mountain.

God has blessed me with some of the rare opportunity to get a shot of birds that I would not even entertain the thoughts of trying to get.









Some of the birds has been this Red-shouldered Hawk which I got while visiting a friend,

the Black-crowned Night-Heron, adult and juvenile.










and many more.


There are so many pictures I want to share along with the stories that are behind the pictures. It is the stories that I think will speak the loudest to some, it has to me.

This past year has been an adventure and inspiration to me.

I can not wait to see what this year may bring.

Happy Abba's Day

I honor you Abba by writing this blog on Father's Day. I am humbled by your willingness to sacrifice all for the love of me, saying thanks just is not enough. This is done so that You and others would know how grateful I am for Your unconditional love. When calling out for help You rally around me and get the work done with your grace and peace.

Trusting is difficult for me. I have not always been able to trust in the love of a father. So it was hard for me to get to the point of giving you my complete trust. My grandfather was one of the few people who gave me unconditional love. Unfortunately he died when I was ten years old. It was his love that sustained me until I received Your love. It is Your love that sustains me now.

There are days that I doubt your love for me. It is that old broken record feeding me thoughts that I am unlovable, unworthy and that I should just give up any hopes. Than hearing that small faint whisper in my heart saying, “ Abba loves you” brings me back to your presence. Thank you, Abba. I love you too.

Happy Abba's Day to the greatest Father that anyone can hope to have.
