Photo Collection: A Walk on the Island

While Matt was in the midst of another week of "Intensives" at seminary, Daniel and I were able to spend some time at my grandparent's home. At the beginning of the week we had beautiful weather with temperatures in the 70's. We spent most of our time outside. My grandparents live on a sparsely populated island near the Mississippi River. During one of our hikes, I took this set of photos. I was struck by the beauty around me during our walk, so I thought I'd try to capture it as best I could. I felt this renewed sense of God's power, care, and creativity and thought I'd share some thoughts and photos with you.
