Nature Center Outing

Last week, we were able to visit a nature center
that exhibits many of the local animals here
(and it was free for us, too!).
We enjoyed the very spontaneous visit
and took LOTS of photos (as usual) to share. ;o)

Not much commentary this post...
just sharing snapshots (and lots of them)...

A beautiful day... a lovely walk... a wonderful experience...
learning about and admiring
our Creator's marvelous handiwork.


"Thou, even thou, art YHVH alone;
thou hast made heaven,
the heaven of heavens, with all their host,
the earth, and all things that are therein,
the seas, and all that is therein,
and thou preservest them all;
and the host of heaven worshippeth Thee."
Nehemiah 9:6
