I love nature… but you already knew that!

I love flowers… but you also know this!

I used to be a photographer… maybe you didn’t know that part.

What is it about flowers?

Color maybe… shape perhaps… smell could be a part of it too.

My guess is that the combination of all three reasons may be what attracts me to flowers.. but I think there’s more to it.

Take the photo above, for instance. See how each bud looks a bit different from their neighbors? I am completely fascinated with how God can design such a vast number of things in our world, and still take such care with the tiniest of individual details… sort of like humans.

One of my dreams, after my eyes get fixed this month, is to save up and buy another Nikon. Maybe I’ll head for the hills like I did when I was in my prime… wandering for hours, clicking shots that bring a lasting record of things I find beautiful. I realize that time has moved forward, slowing me down a good bit. So! I also recognize the less than steady hands I know use to point and click, as they say. I still don’t care!

If they can take something like a camera and build it faster, lighter, and stronger… then I want to be like Steve Austin in the Million Dollar Man with bionic eye implants. While they’re at it, I wish for them to add better arms and legs… why not?

What if we were able to have a camera built right into our eyes… then we could literally capture the perfect angle and light just by winking, blinking or even crossing our eyes… just saying…
