If you look closely enough, it’s always apparent.
But in the spring, there’s just no denying.
And He loves to indulge His children with His handiwork.
Somehow, even in the midst of this my 41st spring, He never fails to take my breath away.
after a season of seeming lifelessness.
In contrast to the muted and subdued colors of winter, the vibrant colors displayed in spring are a welcome harbinger of the warm days to come.
I love to witness the Creator of the Universe revealing His infinite creativity.
Down to the most minute detail.
When I’m in the midst of this season, His presence is so real. So tangible.
Everywhere I look, I am reminded of His goodness.

Love this post! Love the beauty that is so apparent in the spring. Love seeing God's handiwork. For many years I did not "see" it. So thankful I "see" it now!
Thank you Jesus!

Your photos of God's handiwork are lovely, and I always appreciate your insights. Happy Sunday!
Rebecca says
I might have to link up to Sunday Snapshot and to Sunday's in my City…………There is a photo that I think would go well with this post because there is a cross in it…only my crappy skills at taking photos going 70mph down the highway….it didn't quite turn out as well as I would have liked…one day though…I'll make my husband stop the car so I can get a good shot. IT's awesome
Emily says
dang i'm jealous of your yard– out in CO, we don't see a lot of green– and lush doesn't exist!
Tina Michelle says
Those are amazing pics! Great photog skills. My yard is not near that pretty, then again I am so not a gardener. Thanks for sharing!
Wanda says
Beautifully said Stephanie. And your photos are awesome….as is our God!
Have a great week.
Katherine says

I love spring… it reminds us all that God doesn't give up on us, ever.
Jo says
I do love spring–probably because I'm not a huge fan of winter! But here in the Midwest, winter's sort of a given. For a southern girl like you, I have to imagine that a New England spring can feel like a long time in coming! Glad you were able to get out and enjoy it!
Dita says
You certainly captured the wonder of this Season so perfectly in images and eloquently in words.
I have officially had 43 Springs and I can tell you that every single one still leaves me in complete and utter amazement…and I think they always will.
What a tremendous opportunity to realign ourselves with our passions, goals and faith and begin again.
We have so much to be thankful for.
Happy Spring!!
Hugs,
Dita Darling
Dita says
Gorgeous images and such eloquent words to accompany them.
Yes, Spring…a time to remind us that even when we think there is only darkness comes rebirth.
Spring has always been a time for me to re-evaluate, move forward and let go.
I never tire of nature blooming and the incredible gift it is to us to be thankful for every little thing we have.
Hugs,
Dita Darling
