Thanks Sandra. I was cheating with the pictures. I take dozens of them (especially sine kids are not ever still) and choose the more presentable ones. Even then, I have to edit heavily to lessen/remove the blur or the clutter. Most of these pictures are not good for printing at all.
Thank you for visiting and the comments. I am so glad to know what kind of bird the one in the first picture is. there are so many of them in our yard. I thought that they were chikadees at first. It is always nice to be able to name the things around us.
Peace of soul comes to those with the right kind of anxiety about attaining perfect happiness, which is God. A soul has anxiety because it final and eternal state is not yet decided, it is still and always at the crossroads of life. This fundamental anxiety cannot be cured by a surrender to passions and instincts; the basic cause of our anxiety is a restlessness within time that comes because we are made for eternity.
If there were anywhere on earth a resting place other than God, we may be very sure that the human soul in its long history would have found it before this. ~ Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
