Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet - HOL Community Garden

Check out the pollen on that rear leg!

I'm not sure if he knows it or not, but Dustin and I are in training for some bigger bike rides in the next few months. So, yesterday after church we pedaled on over to the Heart of Lubbock Community Garden. The garden's looking great and the pollinators were downright intoxicated. It was awesome to be there and see all that tiny pollinating action happen on such a massive scale. All the six-legged critters were making it happen. Dustin was excited to see his science class lessons coming to life! (Thanks, Ms. Litteral!)

Definitely a Mesquite Hugger happy place!

May we all be fortunate enough to find beauty even in tiny spaces.

Just a muddy old hole in the ground

Yesterday morning found me in a stunning West Texas canyon by myself meditating on the beauty of creation and...just kidding!

You knew there had to be a gratuitous mesquite shot or two.

Yesterday morning found me in Caprock Canyons State Park with about sixty fifth graders, a handful of adults, and a very well-informed park ranger.

Breathtaking place

Ranger talk

I like big bugs and bigger cacti!

Red mud and gypsum

The mud martens were in a nest-building frenzy.

When we first arrived, one young lady looked at the vista and said, "I feel at home here."

Amen, Naomi! Me too!

May you find yourself in awe of a natural place soon, and may you be well!
