Aww…some Monday
The butterfly bush is still blooming and Monarchs are still being attracted. The process makes for some awesome photo opportunities. Weather is beginning to cool down, so this can’t last much longer so I will just have to enjoy the show while I can.




Monday’s Music Moves Me
I failed to post last week when the theme was about bounty, plentiful and blessings so I am going to back the bus up and post a little Praise & Worship music that blesses my soul as I recall all of the ways our Creator has blessed me and my family over the years.
A song that has been a part of my life for over thirty-five years and blessed me in a very special way when I was without work early in my career. Regardless of the circumstances in my life I just have to keep in mind that I am a child of the King of Kings and I march to the beat of a different drum.
Every encounter with the Lord is a blessing to my soul. When my spirit is weary and my soul is troubled by the events of this world, a little time spent in praise and worship is like a refreshing drink from a mountain stream. Bless the Lord!
I can start my day reading a love letter from the Creator of the universe. At the end of our time together, I can raise a helleujah!
In a world filled with animosity and discord it is good for each of us to have a happy place that centers our thoughts and settles our soul. My happy place is in God’s Word, in God’s House, and in Praise and Worship music. Regardless of the chaos around me, I have A Reason to Praise! Have a blessed week.
Your photography is amazing. Wow. I wish I could take photographs half as good as you do.
Love your play list.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

Half the success is just being in the right place at the right time. PhotoShop Elements helps to crop the image to show only what is important. Thanks for the kind words my friend.

Those are spectacular butterfly photos! We have not seen any around this year, which is really odd.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the images. We have not seen many Monarchs but I jump at the chance to photograph them when they do come to our butterfly bush.

As always, your macros are outstanding. People here in the southern tier NY/Northern Tier PA area (including me) all seem to have seen few monarchs this year. I’m thankful Arkansas has/had some. I am not part of the Christian tradition but the 10,000 Reasons song is so familiar – it’s a beautiful song. I know I’ve heard it before. Reason to Praise was also a powerful song.
