Blue Symphony

(My initial post title for this was "Field trip" but was really too ordinary for what we experimented last night so I think the new title is more appropriate :-).

So last night after dinner and piano practice I took Ella on a surprise little field trip. We walked to this beautiful field of bluebonnets nearby. The pictures I took (with my DroidX since I was too lazy to carry my "professional" gear with me :-D) speak for themselves. I loved the natural light. It's always the best (in my books.)

(It's quite amazing to me how the top she picked matched the color of the field! Mind you, she didn't know where we were going!)

Beautiful Bluebonnet amongst bluebonets:

Can you tell she loves to pose?

My favorite! (They all are, really. :-))

How vibrant and beautiful are these?

They look great on my counter.

I'm so grateful for the beauty of this world and for my sweet explorer who loves nature as much as I do (or more, if we count her love for animals :-))

Ella the Explorer

We just can't stand how pretty this place is and keep going back there every Sunday after church. The beautiful textures and colors of the rocks and trees, the quiet sounds of nature are all just lovely.

Ella planned a picnick for herself right there in the middle on the creek, on the rocks. After doing some park exploring and wall climbing she sat down to eat. She was also planning on bringing her swimsuit to take a dip in the creek but of course that didn't happen. She still loved walking around and exploring nature (finding bugs, rocks, and plants.)

Fun, fun times!  (and I almost fell off a rock into the deep wild river behind me! Well, not really! :-))
