Hey, friends,
It's summertime in the Ozarks! Another season full of nature's blessings....A sweet Great Pyrenees guards his flock of goats....
A kitty keeps an eye on the family's garden....
A leopard frog soaks up warmth on a road ...
A bug feasts on a banquet of Queen Anne's Lace...
A Great Dane sniffs some flowers planted in a stone birdbath....
An old Chevrolet panel truck decorates a mountain pasture...
Wild blackberries ripen on the roadsides....
Poison ivy flourishes everywhere....
And pink flowers decorate the edges of the woods.
Summertime in God's country. A time to walk in the sunshine, look around at all the beauty, and breathe a deep sigh of gratitude.

Beautiful. I feel more healthy just looking at the pictures. Poison ivy -- what a bane. Ruins perfectly friendly forests. Ryc: thanks for trying to watch the video. Technology is so frustrating.
You just cannot cast your eyes anywhere in our beloved Ozarks without seeing something beautiful and interesting, even in the most unexpected places. When it turns beautiful red in the fall, I've often thought how pretty poison ivy can be. That pink flower is a true wild rose, and they are gorgeous this week! That old panel truck reminds me of the new ones Chevy has recently come out with....proving once again that there is nothing new under the sun. Just LOVE your stone birdbath!!!! That is a work of art, even without the flowers.
Oh the wild blackberries look like a summertime treat to come. Love your Ozark post! Makes me wanna go on the trip south.
Love those pictures!
Great photos, and I'd also like to mention poison ivy. It's everywhere! I've always believed that everything has a purpose, but I've yet to find a good one for poison ivy.
Lovely assortment of pictures! And I always wondered what poison ivy looked like
Does it sting, like nettles? Some people eat nettle-tops when they're young. Apparently, they don't sting after boiling in a soup! Never tried it, though.
Thanks for the pictures.
I miss the prayer times that we used to have together. God sure met the needs of our hearts, didn't He? The older I get the more I appreciate the treasure that we have in the word of God. I am doing a study that I just love, "A New Creation." I do believe it is reviving some dead areas of my life. I am thankful that you have a nice life. God has been so good to us. Have a great week-end and God bless.
Love you, dear friend.
Beautiful pictures, I especially like the frog! HUGS, Linda
What beautiful photos...I can smell the flowers and feel the breeze.
