Peace
Posted on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 | 0 Comments
So I couldn't decide on just one, so here are the two photos from what I took today. And by the way, if anything I had to take the green in the photos DOWN a notch because it looked almost fake. It is that green here right now, and I'm loving it.


So why photos of my backyard for "peace"? My mom referred to our yard once as our own little "Sacred Grove". I think the description is quite fitting. Along those lines, I thought to myself "what is more peaceful than the Sacred Grove?"


I know this one is out of focus... but I really liked it for some reason and had to share. Maybe the blurriness just adds to the effect?

"The groves were God's first temples."
- William Cullen Bryant
A Forest Hymn

I would recommend reading the rest of Bryant's hymn. It is beautiful.
