Photo Walk in the #1 City

The sun setting over Truman Village

Urban Sunflower

Sunflower Prairie

Storm Coming

Tunnel

In the last few weeks, I keep on seeing Sunflowers all over the highway… every exit, including the road beside our housing complex. I have wanted to find out how to get to see them and also the huge lake area behind the complex. So, I decided to take what I like to call a photo walk. 🙂

I found a path that led us down to the other side of the highway… There were hundreds of sunflowers and a really cool looking sky. I thought that I should share some of the best. Which one is your favorite?

Day 188

The Intricate Details

All of the small parts

Our friends brought over these awesome sunflowers tonight, so of course, I had to shoot one. Can you see the number of small “sunflowers” on the inside of this? There are hundreds per flower and it amazes me that they are so small, so detailed.

I was talking with a friend (and my stylist) tonight about my dad’s situation. Her mother-in-law also has stage 4 cancer. I was sharing with her how much I have learned about the human body, the details of what happens in death and how amazed I was. She related to how she felt the same way about when she was pregnant… how can such a small human being be INSIDE you?

We both immediately related it to how impossible it could be for evolution to have created humans. It’s not possible for such an intricate system of body parts so well intwined to have been evolved over millions of years from a micro-organism. The same with the flower… How can the flower be so detailed without some divine help?

My dad’s throat muscles are starting to give out… no more talking, he can’t hold up his head too well, and is having trouble swallowing. This will make medication administration a little more difficult. Again, amazing to me the number of body parts that we depend on every day, but never realize or put value behind the awesomeness of what God created. Amazing to me how many of the body parts have to “unwind” for us to expire.

God — Thanks for all of the quality control you have installed in your machines. 🙂
