New Life

I had the privilege of capturing the grown of some baby robins who’s mother made a home in our spruce tree.

1. A freshly built nest. 2. Little blue eggs. 3. Newly hatched. 4. Entering the wide world.

“You will make known to me the path of life;

In Your presence is fullness of joy;

In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.”

{Psalm 16:11}

Crabapple Blossoms

The sun peaks over our trees and touches the crabapple blossoms.

Glorious Pink.

“O Lord, our Lord,

How majestic is Your name in all the earth!”

Snow – In May!

It is characteristic of Minnesota weather to be unpredictable.

Yesterday, we had a sudden snow storm.

It has been cold a gloomy lately, but I didn’t expect this!

Drops of moisture on a spiderweb.

Elinor & Katelyn threw snowballs.

Then, today, it was like this: sunny & and a tad bit warmer. Most of the snow was gone by noon. That’s Minnesota for you.

   Wow! You must not like too far from me (up in the Iron Range)… we got snow then too. I want to guess you are from Bemidji, I have no clue why.
