This collection of poems and thoughts was pieced together over time and might not have made it to completion, if not for the encouragement of those who have read and enjoyed the contemplations and feelings that are abundant throughout these pages. Also the photography not only adds to the significance and splendor of God's creativity, but gives the reader something to contemplate as they envision the words before them. My greatest desire for you is to draw you closer to the One who has created such majesty and given this little planet the beauty that is right before your eyes.
