Psalm 53 and haiku

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

Psalm 53: 2

trees with full leaves
providing shade
comfort of faith

Admiration

The Daily Post photo challenge this week is Admiration.  Karl took this photo of my still life arrangement with a card created by Charles A. Waugaman, editor for Time Of Singing when I began with the journal some time ago.

My photos of the peonies are for my parents.  They had pink, red, and white peonies in their yard.

I admire the resilience of perennials.  New growth through old leaves is an image of endless inspiration.  Previous owners planted the primroses.

Prayers of gratitude,
