As we were leaving the lake last week it rained for a bit before the sun (Son) came out again. I was driving out of the park when between the trees we spotted this beautiful rainbow. It really was magnificent and hard to capture in it's spectacular beauty. As always I'm reminded of God's promises to us, to me, as I gaze in wonder at such a awesome sight.
I slammed the car into park and climbed down an embankment to get this glimpse between the trees. Since I had a hard time capturing the rainbow in all it's glory I tried using Photoshop to allow you guys to see what I really saw that day.
Before a little saturation and help from Photoshop....
And after....this really was how magnificent the rainbow was!! Where it ended on this patch of sandy shore was the most wonderous glow. It was almost as if the beach was on fire.
Lots of times I think I use Photoshop to make something appear better than it actually was but this time it was to show you guys just how awesome something REALLY looked.
Isn't God good?
What are the promises He's made to you?
Stacy at The Land of KA had a theme for today of flowers.
My challenge to you is to name all these flowers because some of them I know and some I don't.
So here's what's in my yard and in my neighborhood's yards Stacy!
Yesterday a friend invited us to come and swim at her pool. The other mom and I didn't get in the freezing cold water but the kids had a blast. She even made dinner for us.... Homemade biscuits, fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream...can you say yum, yum?
It's a family tradition of theirs, one I'm glad she let me in on.
When we got home last night I tried to do some work with my 18% grey card outside. It's awfully hard to get a accurate reading with moving targets. I didn't post process any of these pictures but wanted to share some with you.
This was taken at my friend Lisa's house when we took a break from swimming. I love the bokeh (background blur).
This one turned out a little blue despite my attempts at using my gray card but I'll process that out later.....I love her sly expression.
And this is what I got from #3 son when I asked him to stand beside his sister.....
I loved this one....despite the Propel bottle!
We caught a turtle and had fun watching it cruise around the yard. He had a broken shell that had mended. It was really cool to look at how the shell had healed back together. Here's Thomas the Turtle...
And last but not least, flowers picked by all my kids just for mom...
God is unpredictable but consistent. You may not be able to tell what he is doing or why but you can always trust in WHO HE IS. He has your very best interests at heart. He is good. He is God.
