Before Fallen Night

Entranced by blooms
and nectar’s delight
flying along day’s path
before fallen night

Driven by design
providing for others
as the queen produces
more sisters and brothers

Creation’s a marvel
full of mysteries and Light
revealing a Designer
with eternal insight
~
~
I can’t help but ponder
his wonderful mind
and the gifts of his grace
so readily mine
~
~
He’s given us warning
to heed nature’s word
as it speaks of its Maker
for all will have heard.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities –
~
~
his eternal power and divine nature –
~
~
have been clearly seen,
~
~
being understood from what has been made,
~
~
so that men are without excuse.
Romans 1:20

Nature has a lot to say…
if I stand still enough to listen.
Creation converses about the Creator.

Bees are fun to follow. 🙂
Wonderful collection of bees and flowers !
Thanks! It was a joy to gather these.
awesome series of flowers and bees!!!
Thanks, Heather! I collected them over the summer.
The blending of your exquisite photography and delightful words turn my eyes to God and the wonders he unfolds for all to appreciate. Thank you, Wendy, for bringing us this glorious selection.
Thank you, Sheri! Macro photography is good for bringing us so much closer to God’s art.
Amazing, Wendy!
Bill, I’m happy to share our Father’s world with you and others.
Beautiful pictures !
Thank you; I never tire of bees & blooms.
Woooow Green lady so beautiful the life of bees and flowers.
Thank you! The bees always grab my attention. 🙂
I love this Wendy. ‘Bee still’- too cute! All we need do to see evidences of God is to look at His creation. Man is without excuse. Blessings
Thank you, Sue! One of the main reasons I love this verse is because it reminds me that I can see his ‘fingerprints’ if I look close enough. I see a God of order and love; He is not about chaos and fear… but nor is He tame.
🙂
Wow, great post, Wendy. Loved the photos and lovely words. Blessings, Natalie
I am honored that you have come to visit again, Natalie! Thank you and blessings.
Wendy, I love your posts but this one is especially beautiful– that first photo, perfection!
Thank you, Ellen! I saved up my bee pictures from various locations – mostly from our garden.
Fabulous photos and verse as always, Wendy–I’m especially taken by “fallen night”; very unique, and nice poetic sound. I was going to say something else, but my brain just went dead! God bless you BIG–love, sis Caddo
Caddo, thank you for letting me know that you liked ‘fallen night’. xo I had to keep it in once I’d written it. I sure know what you mean about forgetting things… I’m a sticky note queen. 🙂
I just stocked up on those sticky squares–problem is, they’re ALL OVER my desk!!!!
Ditto for me – it’s gotta be a poet thing. 😉
(Chuckling) Must be!
These are beautiful…
Thank you; it’s always a gift when a picture turns out clear.
🙂
This is a beautiful set of photos coupled with your poetry.
Thank you, Linda! It gives me hope to see bees thriving; we need to be gentle with nature.

What beautiful pictures !
We need to save the bee population, as so many are dying from all the pesticides. They are wondrous creatures and are the givers of life for the whole planet. Thank you! Veraiconica
I agree that we must respect and protect these ‘canaries’ of our mine (earth). It is always a joy to see them return each spring; I hope they always do… thank you for the reblog, Veraiconica.
You welcome. Love the pictures you took. V.
