Wonders in the Weed Patch
Out behind our barn is a small area of our driveway where an old lawn tractor sits in the weeds next to some neglected fencing and some leftovers from the wood chip pile. Wandering over this direction around midday, camera in hand, I was looking to photograph one of the big gray grasshoppers that often sit on the driveway. However, buzzing around some pink flowers in this weedy area of the gravel, a hornet caught my eye. After shooting a few pictures at rather close range (you must be willing to get close when your lens only zooms to 55mm), I began to notice more amazing little flying machines. Grasshoppers and other small insects began to catch my eye, now that I thought to look for them. I found that God’s small creatures are a lot of fun to see through a camera’s lens. If you want to see wild, incredibly designed, and spectacular nature, you don’t have to go far. Just go out to the grass in your backyard, and let the sight of God’s creatures awe your heart to worship our incredible Maker!
