Looking through my macro lens at a dying tulip petal,

I discovered the Divine Designer had embellished it with silken stitches,

reminding me of Matthew 6:28-30  “even Solomon in all his splendor

was not clothed as one of these”

A single ladybug can eat as many as 5,000 aphids in its short 3-6 week lifetime.

My favourite insect is not only pretty as a jewel,  but a super-hero in my garden!

It’s amazing to me that a tiny “dead” seed can suddenly shoot forth life so much bigger than itself.

Watching my seeds germinate is an everyday miracle that never gets old.

It reminds me that new Life can come from the most unlikely places.
