Catch-all Theme: Pic #7

I chose a "God Sightings" photo for my last typical post on danisdailythousand, because I think it's precisely appropriate. In the Prayer Mosaic at the Grace Ladies' Retreat last month, one of the "stations" invited us to reflect on recent God-moments in our lives.

The instructions written on the blue card speak to what I have been trying to do with this blog in a daily manner over the past two years - "ask God to lead your thinking and remind you of times He has...shown Himself to you".

It also speaks to my continued longing, even though I will no longer document it in a daily photo, to "observe the tapestry of His grace and spend time praising Him." I invite all of us to do this!

Catch-all Theme: Pic #6

I don't like cockleburs. An ice storm can be nasty, as well. God can combine the two and come up with jewels. I see this as symbolic of the way it is in my life, too. Somehow, He can take any negative circumstance and redeem it. How can I help but worship Him in wonder?

Catch-all Theme: Pic #5

Book folding is a craft that fascinates me. Although I have never done such a project, I'm intrigued every time I see a page-turning work. I spotted this particular one in the students' study room at Faith Builders when we visited our oldest daughter there this winter. She didn't do the art; I believe one of her classmates did. I wonder if the person who created it not only urges others to read, but also encourages reading Old English. :)

Sometimes, in the barrenness of winter, one needs to pull up images of brilliant summer bouquets...to give oneself a boost...with the remembering of the fragrant past...as well as the joyful hope of things to come.  

Catch-all Theme: Pic #3

If good news from a far country is like cold waters to a thirsty soul, (Proverbs 25:25) this line-up has the potential of being a wide refreshing waterfall! In another aspect of observation, I noticed there are the varying amounts of snow on top of the mailboxes. The end one has a considerably larger heap than all the rest. Why is this? I have a theory...

Catch-all Theme: Pic #2

I took this photo several years ago when Ken and I went with Countryside School's Gr. 11 & 12 students on a class trip to Ottawa. At one point, our group went on a self-guided tour through this beautiful old church called the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica. I'm intrigued with all the arches and fascinating lines captured in this pic. 

Week #52 Theme: Catch-all

Did yesterday's mystery pic stop you in your tracks, or just momentarily stump you? It was the top of the "O" on a stop sign, and here is the full shot of it. This is the last one I'm posting in the What is it? theme, leaving some readers wishing I'd keep on longer with the mystery photos and some just as pleased to move on to "real" pics. :) Well, I can't please everyone, so here we go into a few more ordinary photos.

The countdown is on - this is the last week I plan to post a daily pic from Dani... I have some extra pics from previous themes, or from category ideas I ended up not using throughout the year, so this week I will choose seven of those photos and call the theme "catch-all". (I know that even so, I will not catch them all!) Today's pic is a snowy duck quacking for spring or else a ducky snow shape resting on the deck one frosty morning...you decide.
