"I must try and cultivate an eye for life's mercies...
And life, while it has its ugly swamps, its vile weeds, and its sharp thorns,
has always its fair flowers to charm the eye with their beauty,
or to fill the air with their fragrance..."
Rev. John Flowers Serjeant, 1878

Great choices Patricia. I always love your photography.

Sabine said...

while I scrolled down I kept saying (for a half dozen times LOL), "oh this one's my favourite"... In the end, it's a tie between Nicky (who looks so much like our Simba) and baby rabbit. Beautiful photography!
Hope you have a happy weekend Patricia! :)

Those are all so good! Especially the close-ups of the bugs. I love the little rabbit, though.

YTSL said...

Great photos and a good spot re the insects -- wouldn't have thought of them as having fur but it sure does look like they do have such from your close-up shots! :)

I love the photo of the cat sleeping...so cute. However, the photo of the mama rabbit nursing her babies is priceless. You can just see glimpses of the babies. Great photos.

If you have time stop by my photo hunt!

Good choices and great shots all! I particularly like the lighting on the cat shot...

Alice Audrey said...

All your shots are so clear! I have problems even with stick figures that aren't about to fly away.

Those are seriously great shots, Patricia. I like the way you use a camera.

Re: your WWII aircraft shots - I posted a few shots of a Mustang as well. From memory I think the post was called `Mustang Tally'.

Wow! These are terrific! Wonderful picks for our fuzzy theme. Think you got me with the first one though - I'm just a kitty lover.

Flawless shots,
I am smitten by your artistry and mastery of the craft! I never ever manage to photograph anything as brilliantly clear as these pictures here. I hope I learn some day.

The photo of the fox squirrel is previous. I never get to see any of these in Arizona.

Patricia said...

Thank you, everyone. I'm just thrilled to know that y'all enjoyed this photo display of God's creation. It really is all Him. All I do is push the button on a camera that I barely know how to use.
