| Non-rolling stone that gathered moss |
Personally, I find the various ferns, fungus, and shadow growers very interesting...and might even wish to see the other varieties of say upper Michigan or the cascades of Oregon....but for now enjoy this current collection of local flora along with some choice reflective thoughts about the Father of all things bright and beautiful....and the not so bright but equally beautiful! Stay behind the lens everyone!

| Moss covered rock wall from 1935 |
By J.C. Philpot:
There is a wisdom of God which is not hidden—at least not from the eyes of
men who acknowledge God at all, and see the world and all things in it created
and sustained by an Almighty hand. All that the great and glorious Creator has
designed and executed must necessarily bear the stamp of infinite wisdom and
omnipotent power. From the sun in its meridian height to a drop of water in the
ocean, from the elephant that stalks proudly in the jungle to the mite that
crawls upon the cheese, from the towering oak and spreading cedar to the blade
of grass and the moss on the wall—every created object proclaims the wisdom and
power of God.
By John MacDuff (1864):
In one sense we are everywhere surrounded with God's thoughts. The world
of nature is a majestic volume of God's thoughts:
His sublime thoughts — are the everlasting mountains;
His lofty thoughts — the distant stars;
His dreadful thoughts — the lightning and tempest, the earthquake and
volcano;
His minute thoughts — of discriminating care the tiny moss and lichen, the
tender grass, the lily of the field, and pearly dewdrop;
His loving thoughts — the blue sky, the quiet lake, the sunny glade, the
budding blossoms and beauteous flowers;
His joyful thoughts — the singing streams and sparkling waves;
His unchanging thoughts — the rock in mid-ocean, on which the waves are in
vain spending their fury.
