Another treat as we walk along is noticing what's in bloom. One of our neighbors planted a small magnolia tree. We've been getting a fair amount of rain, and this tree is really thriving. It's covered with blossoms and this is one of them. I think the early morning light really shows it off, but then I'm partial to magnolias.
Please pray for Bella.
Bella Update: 10/12/08, Sun. Bella's in good spirits; we had our morning walk and a squirrel crossed her path. Highlight! Bella will see her doggie cardiologist again on October 14th. As always, God's good blessings and answers to prayer are our continuing hope. Blessings to all.
Bella's miracle, the one we're all praying for, is still a day by day process; it may take a bit of time for completion. Bella's battle for life, wellness, and needed healing for her heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run. Bella and I thank you for joining her prayer "team" around the world. Each of you are truly special blessings to us.

Wonderful shot - the composition is great and the early morning light is wonderful. I love how you are combining the big shots (of sky and lake) and the details (flowers) of your morning walks - God's beauty is far and wide, and up close and personal....

Your morning walks must be a joyful and peaceful time. These last few pictures have been filled with beauty. This is a gorgeous shot of the beautiful magnolia. Love how some of the stamens have fallen off and are nestled in the petals. More hugs and prayers for dear Bella. Has ever a puppy had so many prayers said for her??
