God's creativity

Last weekend Mark & I got to go out to the coast and see my parents and grandparents who were staying in a campground there. While we were there I got to enjoy and take some pictures of some of God's amazing creations... some of them might seem ordinary, but I think they're pretty incredible. I'd never seen the flowers pictured in the middle before, but all I could think of when I saw them was, "Wow, God's got a crazy imagination!" Who else would have thought of creating a flower that intricate and weird! I liked it, so I figured I'd share it.

Meet "Ducky"

This is my parents duckling, Ducky, that they hatched. He was the only one that made it, so he's rather spoiled... He gets held, watches movies with the family, runs around the house occasionally and peeps really loud anytime he's left alone. Once he's let out of his box he quiets right down and is happy to follow people around or just snuggle up in someones' lap. Someday he (or she as the case may be) might take off and decide to be a real duck and we'll never see him again, or maybe he'll continue to follow people around and become annoying, but right now he's still a cute little bugger and becoming part of the family.
