l was excited when this Monarch floated gently by and landed on the leaf of a nearby tree. This was the first one that I had seen this year, though I have since spotted others.

A trip to the lake just wouldn’t be the same without spotting these little guys enjoying their favorite sunning spots.

Who says a turtle can’t climb a tree? This little fellow was determined, and up he went, climbing higher and higher. I imagine he was also seeking a sunny spot to relax.
“Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.” ~Jack Ma
A recent rainstorm at sunset, crowned with a dazzling rainbow.
With His Word He formed the mountains,
Made the skies and filled the sea.
Gave the land its wonderous beauty
Gave life’s breath to you and me.
He was there before the song was sung,
He still abides through its refrain,
And when the song gives way to silence
Still the Word of God remains.
~Lawrence Keith Holder
