reason # 5,711 that God is so cool - Caddo Lake
As promised here are some photos of our camping trip to Caddo Lake. If you think there are too many you should have seen them before I edited...heh-heh. (I took 464 photos this trip,a small number for me really.)
This place is so gorgeous! In the mornings this ethereal mist rolls across the lake and you feel like you're in a movie.
Makes me think of this hymn:
How Great Thou Art (second verse)
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee;
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee;
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Snapped a pic of an early morning canoe-er here.
What a way to wake up Starbucks and this view!
The fall colors this time of year are spectacular.
We saw lots of wildlife on our weekend adventure including this mama & baby turtle with their mossy backs.
I tried to use my digital zoom to get a close up of this woodpecker that we heard while having coffee around the fire one morning.
It came out a little blurry, but look at that red head! Doesn't he look just like Woody?
We took a tour of the lake on this amazing steamboat called "The Graceful Ghost"
The boys loved it and learned that Caddo Lake is a protected wetland ecosystem. (yay, homeschool...uh, campschool.)
I crocheted by the campfire every night! Super crafty, campy-ness!
And of course we had s'mores.
All in all it was a pretty wonderful weekend.
Hope your weekend is lovely and peaceful.
His Grace and Peace,
♥ Melissa~

"We look at this Son and see the God Who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God's original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment."
-Colossians 1:15-16
