    It’s God’s creation, so where better to become more intimate with Him than where He is most appreciated? For us, it’s our front yard! The birds make the best company. They sing praises to God throughout the entire year! One image was shot on October 11, 2023. Another was taken on August 24, 2024. The other two were captured on October 15, 2024. Now that you know all this, you can sleep again.
