Without prayer, without faith in the Almighty, the civil rights movement would have been like a bird without wings.    –John Lewis

 

These are troubled times. Getting outdoors, enjoying the beauty of nature becomes respite.

Over the weekend, David and I got out to do some birding. We were rewarded with these beauties.
