Enjoying The Beauty Of God's Creation


I pulled over off the I49 near Natchitoches and took this photo on Friday and shared this caption on Facebook:

 Feeling really joyous today. The sky is filled with what I call "cotton candy" clouds. There is just something whimsical about these wispy clouds that puts me in a good mood. I used to take so many photos of them in the skies over the California mountains and deserts. I guess it just reminds me of good times. The Lord has outdone himself today by painting such a lovely Fall sky. Glory be to Jesus.

Psalms 19:1

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Job 37:14-16

14 “Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God’s wonders.
15 Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash?
16 Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?

Colossians 1:16-17

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Psalm 104:1-35

Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent. He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters; he makes the clouds his chariot; he rides on the wings of the wind; he makes his messengers winds, his ministers a flaming fire. He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved.

Later that same day I was inspired to pull off the I49 again when I witnessed this amazing phenomena in the sky. It appears that there were three suns in the sky over southern Louisiana this afternoon, but what we are actually seeing here is the actual sun in the center with its light reflecting off ice crystals in the clouds on either side. I was very blessed to be able to capture such a rare sight.

This morning I was driving south down Highway 165 towards Lake Charles. As I was driving along my mind wandered back to my days in the southwest and how many photos I used to take that featured clouds. - READ MORE

One of the things that I really enjoyed about living in the California high desert and working in the Inland Empire was traveling through Cajon Pass every day. Back in those days I loved taking pictures of the desert landscape and the amazing clouds that would form overhead. - READ MORE

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
