I took this photo along with several others one foggy morning on my way to work. Normally my morning commute is like many others - slow, unfocused, and without thought. This particular morning I felt compelled to take the time to look around me and actually see. I drove a different path and saw beauty I'd passed by a hundred times. One of my co-workers has this scripture up on the wall. I thought about it as I was wandering through the lovely area taking pictures. Ya see, some people pay attention when they get a tap on the shoulder from God, some days I require a smack about the back of my head!
This morning I was listening and was still.

That's true of many of us, I'm afraid. I love this photo. It is so peaceful.
Beautiful. Taking the time to stop and see is so hard yet only takes a second or two more in our lives...Your picture is beautiful, I'm so glad you stopped and listened.
So true ever so true - sometimes we get so busy it's hard to be still and focus our minds on Christ. Your scene reminds me of the scenes I see every day here in Scotland.
Wow! thank you for being the catalyst for God smackin gme with a 2 x 4 this morning. Beautiful photo, I would like that drive to work!
Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who doesn't seem to listen until God kicks me in the backside....but I'm always thankful He does it! This is a beautiful view and I'm glad you took time to be still and listen!
I always need a smack or a good shove!
such a calming scene. Glad you took time to be still and see what God wanted you to.
I love this verse! Your picture is so beautiful. It is amazing what we pass each day and miss, just because we are so consumed with living life. Joining you at Katie's today.
Gorgeous pic. Beauty is around us everyday...we just have to open our eyes an take the time to observe.
A precious word and a beautiful, peaceful image. Thanks for sharing it.
I think your drive to work is so beautiful....it would be easy to drive very slowly=and be late/ha
Great picture.....and it is SO hard for me to be still.
Beautiful photo! You are right...sometimes God has to work awfully hard to get us to pay attention! :)
Thanks for your kind comment over at my place.

What a stunning shot and so perfect with that verse, but of course it is...He is AMAZING, isn't He?!! What wondrous love He has for us ♥
This is a wonderful shot and scripture to go with it. I think we often miss the wonders the Lord have blessed us with. All his beauty is around us and it often gets taken for granted as well.
It's so peaceful.
Beautiful mood you've capture with this image.
This shot seems timeless, making you wonder who walked this path before.
What a beautiful shot! Sounds like you were blessed by being intentional about noticing God's creation around you! Thanks for sharing! :)
I really really like this photo!!
Do you care if I play with it in photoshop?? Please?! I'd love to try some textures on it! I'll post the result and give you FULL credit for the photo if I end up making something pretty with it. Let me know :)
