Hello all.
I won't bore you all with a lot of preamble. I'll just say I love Photography and all the photos I post are ones I took myself.
Here the subject matter is animals so I'll post a few of the many animal photos I've taken.
These are wild animals that I've photographed mostly around my home area. For those of you who may not know the identity of each species I'll name the animal and where I photographed it.
This is a small sample of my animal photos.
I'll start with the animal many people most identify with the north, where I live.

That's all folks. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
As I go about my days I often wonder, how can anyone see the life around them and think there is no God ?
I know I was once in that category but now it seems unimaginable. Each Animal, each Bird, each flower, each worm is perfectly designed for it's role in God's plan.
The more I see, the more I learn, the more amazed I am by our Savior. "Behold the lilies of the field" He said. In another place He says, "Yet not
one Sparrow will
fall to the ground outside your Father's care".
The more I study nature the more I see all this is true. Do you know that most Orchids need a host plant or tree in order to survive? And both benefit from the relationship. DO you know why Pine trees are often the first trees to regrow in a burned forest? It's true because Pine trees hold some seed in dry cones for years and only a forest fire will release the seeds inside. Those seeds are carried by the hot air rising out of the fire, far into the sky where it is cooler thus protecting them from the hottest areas in the fire until it dies down. then they drop back to earth and resead the burned off area.
How can that be an accident ?
Praise God for caring even for burned forests!
