These photos happened last July on a day I walked our wildflower fields the way I often do. It’s my normal practice to take at least 2 snaps of each picture hoping if one doesn’t turn out, the other will. I didn’t know until I got back in the house that I had taken two uniquely focused photos of these blossoms.
They were important enough to me I gave them their own folder on my desktop where I visit them often and let the beauty of the moments bless me again and again.
Today, on this January day, I’m sharing them and some words that seem to fit the memories with you. I pray You will be blessed too.
“A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.”
Eudora Welty

Since taking these photos, I’ve had many opportunities to focus and refocus my life. Most of all, my thoughts. ― Joy DeKok
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8 NLT
Until Next Time,
Joy
Love your photos and the thoughts that help us refocus as we ponder beauty and fleeting moments.
Thank you, Barbara! I’m always grateful when the photos touch hearts and now and then the words too. Thank you for your encouragement!
Love your photos. God finds amazing ways to touch our hearts and minds and help us shift our focus. Right now these photos can help teach me to look at things in new ways, not just through my usual narrow perspective. Perfect timing because I need to open my mind to other views. Thank you, Joy. You are a blessing.
I’m so glad you stopped by, Sahron! Thank you!
