Occasionally, we actually get out and do a few nature sketches. Nature drawing gives us the opportunity to really gaze at the plant and appreciate each tiny detail. The shape of the petals, the exact shade of green, how the center exists and the petals appear to float from it.
April in Texas is a beautiful time for this as the temps are perfect and everything is fully in bloom.
One of my favorite plants is the Star Jasmine that we planted several years ago. It is such a fragrant flower. It's scent fills the air all around the house!
I love how simple this little flower is. Do not let it's size fool you. It may be small but it is a hardy plant surviving the worst winters and the harsh summers including droughts, hurricanes, and insects providing weeks of beautiful fragrance and beauty to let us know that the Earth has once again returned to life!
Hearken to this, O Job! Stand and consider the
wondrous works of God!
Job 37:14
