More featuring of God's creation, with relevant verses

 You may remember a few posts ago where I featured a few of my favourite photos showing God's creation, with an appropriate Bible verse inserted. I had been wondering what to do with some of the canvas prints I had made, and an option came up. There is a mission trip to Ecuador later this season, being undertaken by a church we have been associated with for years whose denomination was through missions. The organizers were hosting a meal along with a silent auction. As missions to other parts of the world were always something I supported, I took this as an answer from God to donate a few of my canvas prints!

There were three prints that were well received and helped raise funds for the trip. These are the three (click on the image to see a larger version, and it may be easier to read the verse):

This next one is very much a favourite of mine. It is a sunrise over the Thames River, downstream from Chatham, and the clouds look like God's hand stretching out.

 

The overall silent auction raised several thousand dollars, so I was glad to be able to be a part of it. 

I donated another canvas print, to be on display somewhere in the church. It is this next one, and is on the wall in a room where folks often gather for coffee and fellowship.

Here are a few others that I have either had made into canvas prints, or may do so in the future. Some may look familiar to the earlier post, but several are new.

This next one is a sunrise overlooking Lake Erie.

Next is a colony of Great Blue Herons nesting in a fallen willow, in Rondeau Bay.

Next is a scene at Brooks Falls, one of my favourite water falls that we came across on one of our various trips to North Bay. We had a 2' X 3' canvas print on display in our living room.

On a trip to the mid-western USA several years ago, we stopped at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, in Kansas. Here a herd of bison was enjoying the fresh green grass growing on the hillside after a prescribed burn occurred weeks earlier.

Next is a sunrise in the Rocky Mountains that Marie and I got up early for. It is near Saskatchewan Crossing, enroute between Banff and Jasper National Parks.

The Bow River, featured next, is right along the main road in Banff.

Bald Eagles are always fun, and a challenge, to get photos of. It looked like this one was coming right at me, so I had to give it a try!

This next one was taken one spring at Fish Point Prov Nature Reserve on Pelee Island. Considering the much more intensive winter we just experienced, I thought the verse was quite apt.

So many wonderful photos of God's creation that I have been fortunate to see, and even more fortunate to capture on my camera. I am spending as much time as I can being out communing with my Creator and looking for opportunities to capture a bit of His creation to share. Certainly that is one of the most rewarding things to do these days!
