Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

It has been a bit surprising how many flowers we have seen.  In fact, these photos are a mere sampling of what we have seen and photographed.

Around campus, on the walk home, at the Game Reserve, there are many varieties of flowers in bloom.  Keep in mind this is late, late summer here.

But with flowers come some thorns.  As ubiquitous as the flowers are, so are the thorns.

Both the number of flowers, and the different varieties are impressive.  Plus, we have bought several bouquets in the local grocery, and they are quite nice.


Scripture tells us clearly, in the Sermon on the Mount, "Behold the lilies of the field, they toil not, neither do they reap, yet Solomon in all his Glory was not arrayed as one of these."


But, more importantly, In Romans 1 G^d says, "20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse."
