Flight February 28, 2010

Flight, originally uploaded by pictureapromise.

What a beautiful day we had. The sun was shining, the temps were warm, the snow is beginning to melt some with water on the streets and "dirty" snow everywhere. After a trip to Fergus to deliver some rugs and a "date" dinner with my hubby we went back to Wahpeton. We stopped at Chahinkapa park to check out the geese and found a good size flock of ducks and geese at the pond. I was hoping to get some close up shots but the young ladies who were there were having a good time and frightened them. One gal decided to go out on the ice and wings fluttered. I captured these three heading for the sky.

They have some freedom, being able to fly, to go easily from one place to the next. I remember as a child running as fast as I could, jumping up and hoping I would fly. Someday I believe I will. My spirit will take flight from this world and wing it's way to heaven. I don't know how it all works, don't understand everything to come, but I believe it to be true. Just like I believe the sun will rise in the morning, that spring will follow winter and Jesus loves me.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

Cardinal in Flight January 31, 2010

The beautiful Cardinal pair were in my backyard again today. They would come and go, check the feeders and watch from the trees. They seem to be comfortable here now. I feel so blessed. These beauties are rare here and in visiting with others in the community we believe this is the only pair in the area. I am honored that they've chosen to grace my yard from time to time.

I pray you see the little graces in your life each day!
