Each little flower that opens …….

Following on from my last post featuring the hymn “All things bright and beautiful”- we started with the refrain and this is actually the first verse.

Each little flower that opens

Each little bird that sings

God made their glowing colors

God made their tiny wings.

I have no idea what the name of this flower is. If you know – let me know. I am not a gardener rather I’m a writer and lover of God’s creation. I took the photo because I felt it as beautiful.

This little guy has the most beautiful birdsong, besides being very cute. We will overlook his rather garish habits with how he hangs his kills – butcher by name, butcher by nature.

This beautiful feathered friend is a Rainbow Lorikeet. His coloring is brilliant and he loves nectar. When in the company of his flock they are very noisy and quite boisterous.

An Australian Black Swan and her babies. We rarely see cygnets on this side of the Great Lake. And as swans are so very shy even walking near the lake’s edge will send them paddling out in the lake – so I took this photo from the back balcony of my home using a 500mm lens. She looks rather proud of her two babies.

Coming up next time – Verse 2 of this very special hymn.

Blessings,
