The Lily of the Valleys

The Rose of Sharon or the flower of the field is a flower that endures through the harsh season of winter and resurrects in the spring. The “Rose of Sharon” in the US is Hibiscus syriacus and is extremely hardy. In an allegory of Jesus Christ, Solomon under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit writes about the great “I AM” unknowingly. Not only is He the flower of the field but He is the Lily in the valleys. Not just a flower that blossoms in the field or open areas, But our Lord Jesus is with us through the multiple valleys we encounter in life.

Song of Solomon 2:1
I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

The Flower Fadeth

Isaiah 40:7, 8
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Fly Praying Macro

This little fly was maybe 1/5 inch long and landed on this flower pistol. I positioned my tripod in an attempt to capture it with a macro lens and my efforts paid off. If you look closely you can see the individual eye lenses on this hover fly’s eyes. Seems pretty surreal to me, it looks as if it praying with its hands. Hope you like it.

Summer Flower Macro

A small summer flower macro photo cropped to show the greater detail of the flower, isolating the flower with extreme bokeh. Even the slightest amount of wind would cause this little flower to move so I used a stick to prop against the stem to hold it still. I like to get the most detail possible in the full size image.

Considering Busy Honey Bee Macro

I love to take the time to simply watch a honey bee work. They stay ever so busy and it reminds me of the scripture regarding the ant. The Bible tells us to consider her ways and be wise. I think this bee is wise because it is preparing.

The Lords Flower

2 Chronicles 4:21
The flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold

Macro Bee Gathering Pollen Yellow Flower

A busy bee gathering pollen on some yellow flowers in a country field. This guys was really buzzing around and it was tough to get a shot of him while still enough. Thankfully there was plenty of sunlight in order to allow a fast exposure.
