Thankful 2

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 20 November 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

This being Thanksgiving Week in the USA, as promised, here is a little bit of the kapok tree in our yard as she blooms. It's an amazing sight to see such a large tree in full flower.

I am thankful to God today for the beauty of creation...
"For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise."
