I was directed to this beaver pond in central NY last week in the Long Pond natural area. Easily, its the biggest I have ever seen. Short on time, I island hopped in the area below the dam trying to get to the dam itself. It was too established and overgrown to allow my presence that day, but i came upon new construction of ponds below the dam which gave these incredible reflections. Another inspirational work of creation.
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror…I Cor 13:12
Great Spangled Fritillary
My first butterfly capture. Very satisfying.

Death, where is your sting?
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
“Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:54,55,57
Got out for a Hike before the next rains came and found these reflective shots.
But the path of the just is like the shining sun,
That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. – Proverbs4:18 (NIV)
Morning dew to get the day started right.
Bright spot in the early Morning.
Natural Thermal Warm-up.
Breaking of a new day.
New light dispelling the darkness.
New light breaking through.
Best flowers of the day were at the end, at the parking lot!
These Blooms are Just the Beginning
