Beauty

Today, I’m missing the beauty of the bateyes.
I could wax eloquent, but words don’t do it justice.
I could snap 100 photos, but the colors just aren’t the same.

Nature pointing to its Creator.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
let the field exult, and everything in it!
