God's Art Work

There tucked back in behind an air conditioner fan was the most beautiful tulip that I have ever seen. It was huddled along with a group of beauties that blew in the wind from the fan. The upgrade of the cooling unit had left these tulips to their own survival and very few people would ever even see them let alone know they are where they are.

The simple lesson is that a lot of people are like this tulip – beautiful but not seen.

I love this time of year. The opportunity to enjoy what we have for colour and beauty is amazing. Living in Canada with its long winters makes you just love the colour and freshness of spring. I love loving what I see. I love loving what I smell and hear too.

As I looked closer at the tulip and then was able to make the shots that I caught it was amazing to stop and look closely at the flower. It was as if someone had touched a brilliant colour with their brush and then exactly painted the interior of the flower. The fine lines would be impossible for me to duplicate with my brushes.

No wonder that people love Canada!

Here for your pleasure is the art work that I found this weekend. God’s art work is so special. Enjoy.

  • Oh, Murray... The pictures of the flowers are breathtaking. You have captured some of the most beautiful and intricate creations of God. I am always astounded at the details that God has placed in His creations for us to enjoy. I like to study things in detail, I find them fascinating. I guess you would say that I like to “take time to smell the roses”. You made an interesting point though, one that strikes home all too well in my life. “A lot of people are like this tulip – beautiful but not seen.” I would not consider myself as beautiful, but I have been trying to work through the issue of being invisible… Not an easy task. Gee, can I come over and bring my camera?
