Pslam 103...and photos of the beauties I often miss

Basil - 2011
 Sometimes it's a good thing to just stop, pick up a camera, and look through the lens....at those intricate things  that I'm usually too "busy" to see...
          

  Psalm 103 


 " Praise the Lord, O my soul;
   all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

   Praise the Lord, O my soul,
   and forget not all his benefits - 

   who forgives all your sins
   and heals all your diseases,



Lillies in the yard - 2011






who redeems your life from the pit
  and crowns you with love and compassion,

 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.

He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:

The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.

He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;

He does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.

For as high as the heavens are above
the earth,

so great is his love for those who fear
him;

Bumble in the Flowers - 2011


as far as the east is from the west, 

so far has he removed our
transgressions from us.
 
As a father has compassion on his 
children,

so the Lord has compassion on those
who fear him;


Roadside Lovely - 2011



for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
 
 
As for man, his days are like grass,
he flourishes like a flower of the field;


the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.




Home - 2011


 
But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord's love is with those who fear him,

and his righteousness with their
children's children -


with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.

The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.


Praise the Lord, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,who obey his word.



Slow and Steady - 2011





Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do
his will.


Praise the Lord, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
