Happy. Beautiful. Monday.

Have you ever thought about the fact that God chose exactly the perfect colors for creation?

I mean, can you imagine a yellow sky?  Blue grass?  Orange water?  Pink leaves? No.  Me either.

His creative colors were perfect. Absolutely, breathtakingly perfect.

On my bike ride Friday afternoon, I was happily reminded me of that perfection when I came across a small canal that was so incredibly and beautifully still that to use the term, “mirror like” couldn’t even begin to capture it.

It was more than a mirror; it was more like beauty doubled. Blue sky and blue water. Perfection.

Even thought I dearly love the photographic marriage of water and sky, that doesn’t mean that I don’t also enjoy taking photographs away from bodies of water. A case in point would be these pictures that I took two weeks ago at St. Paul’s Episcopal church cemetery in Edenton, NC.

It is such a joy to capture the artistry of perfectly chosen colors that have been blended together to form this most beautiful world we all all home.

Happy, beautiful Monday to you.

  1. Oh beautiful! The water looks so amazingly still. It’s just breathtaking.

    • Jessica,

      I especially love the still water because it is so rarely that completely still; seems like there’s always a little wind to disturb its surface.

  2. What amazingly beautiful pictures! Just looking at them created a quiet calmness within me. Thank you.

  3. I so agree that God made the colors just perfect for us! Love your photos and the beauty of the places you visit to take them! Thanks! Wendy

  4. Yep, He did a gorgeous job, didn’t He? I always like to tell my Preschoolers that I made up a story of how God created all the beautiful colors in the rainbow… Imagine God holding a big paint brush and with just the three primary colors, He created the seven colors of the rainbow. (Actually the Preschoolers just paint six colors, but it is fun to see how the colors blend to make orange and green and purple.)

  5. I just love all of the pictures you take! They are soooo beautiful! Have a great day!
