Yellow-rumped Warbler

These little guys are all around the marsh. Quick and shy they are hard to get a shot of sometimes. This was a lucky capture.
Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin! -- Proverbs 21:4
"We're number one!" is the cry today. However, the scripture above tells us that the wicked light their own way with their haughty eyes and proud heart. In contrast, God lights the way for his people with his word (Scripture) and with his Word (Jesus). But arrogance, pride, "uppity-ness" -- or whatever name you want to call it -- is called sin by God. God is number one and all the other numbers are important only because of him. It's just that simple.
Holy and righteous Father, help me place you and your character in the place of most importance in my heart, my life decisions, and in my influence. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
God bless.

This pair of Mexican Eagles may nest close to one of my walk areas. I hope I will be able to get some nice pictures if they have youngones.

Great Blue Heron

Interestingly this fellow let me sit close by and watch as it went about feeding.
