Saturday Through My Lens: Alafia River State Park

Here Comes the Sun
I  absolutely love taking pictures. I drive my family nuts taking thousands on every trip we make.  I love to catch the light just so. Or that little architectural detail against a blue sky. Or the intricate flower petals showcasing Our Creator’s imagination. And smiles. Of course I love catching smiles!

Photos capture a moment and freeze it in time. They allow our minds to replay memories in vivid details.  They remind us of moments we may have forgotten. They show us the beauty that’s already there around us.

Fall Against A River of Green

I’ve seen several blogs that feature one post a week showcasing photographs . . . a Wordless Wednesday or a Snapshot Friday.

Ghost Trees

As I continue to crack open my shell and become more the creative soul inside of me, I want to take more pictures.  And I want to share them with you as I have my words, in hopes that you might enjoy them too.

Duckweed at the Alafia River State Park in Lithia Florida

Welcome to Saturday Through My Lens.

Spotlight on Fresh Water

This week features a nature trail at Alafia River State Park in Lithia, Florida.

It's Just a Shadow Play

The park is on grounds formerly used for phosphate sites.  And the remnants of digging have left behind a beautiful playground of challenging bike trails, horse trails, and trails that are perfect for a morning walk with a camera.

Green with Envy

Many of the lakes in the park appear to be completely green.  They are covered with thousands of tiny leaves of duckweed, which is completely harmless to the lake.

Shades of Green

Florida may not have a wide range of landscape features, but there is no shortage of beautiful scenes in nature to enjoy.

There is beauty to be found in the simplest of things.

Let there be light!

There is light and love all around us.

Morning Hike

I wish you a day full of beautiful moments.

    Indeed, what a beautiful lens that you have shared.

    Psalm 19
    1-2 God’s glory is on tour in the skies,
    God-craft on exhibit across the horizon.
    Madame Day holds classes every morning,
    Professor Night lectures each evening.
    3-4 Their words aren’t heard,
    their voices aren’t recorded,
    But their silence fills the earth:
    unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.
