A few weeks back, my family and I were blessed to be able to visit the Creation Museum and the life-sized ark encounter in Kentucky. These places do a miraculous job showing God’s amazing love and power in His creation. Throughout the museum, there were hundreds of exhibits providing amazing evidence supporting creation, and contradicting evolution. On the breathtaking, life-sized ark, there were rooms of manuscripts and exhibits that were truly remarkable, despite the unfortunate lack of animals. It was such an eye-opening experience to be able to walk through such a biblical icon. I highly recommend visiting these amazing places.

People are blind. We walk through life with such a limited mindset, that we miss the most beautiful things the creator has to offer, like… …the sand …the gorgeously blue sky …the complexly built leaves We miss so much magnificence. But every once in a while, we remember this beauty. We remember what it was like to see, touch, and smell these things for the first time. We remember that God made the sky blue, the sand gritty, and the leaves a lovely shade of green. I want to remember all the time. If you change your mindset, you will see the world as if for the first time. You will see the world the way it was made. You will see the unseen beauty. "And God saw that everything he had made, and behold, it was very good." Description: These large raptors are easily recognized as black vultures, due to their size and color. With a wingspan of 4.9 ft, these birds are relatively small for vultures. Their grayish black heads are strikingly different than the turkey vulture. Habitat: These birds live from the southern United States down to South America. They prefer open lands with dispersed areas of woods and brush, but can be found in wetlands, swamps, pastures, and forests. Diet: These birds eat mainly carrion, but can also be found foraging in garbage. They find their food mainly by sight, but also follow other vultures to the spot of the carcass. When feeding, these birds do get aggressive, and will even chase away larger vultures. Wow! What a fabulous vacation. There were so many nature-full photographic opportunities that I would love to share with you. These beautiful dew-covered leaves were at the first campground my family and I stayed at in Pennsylvania. I personally love this photograph, as it kicked off a wonderful journey of pictures. This photograph was taken in Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. What a breathtaking place. Unfortunately, this was the best shot I could get of the caves, due to the low lighting, as the tour guide allowed no tripod or flash photography. The picture below is of a cave cricket. These insects were crawling all around us in the dark passageways of the caves, and startled many people on the tour, due to their nasty habit of looking much like our friend, the spider. This array of cracks was found in a large stretch of ground which looked like dried clay. These black vultures aren't seen in New England, so I was thrilled to see these magnificent scavengers do what they do best on the side of the road. I will probably do a post on these birds in the future. And, finally, a gorgeous sunflower! What an amazing reflection of God's beautiful love for us. |
