Botanical Break

Photos from the Pearce family outing to the botanical gardens in Honolulu:






Incredible Daughter #1 took this photo so her identity remains a mystery ...

The depth of diversity we saw just in this single botanological exhibition was astonishing.

There was more variety than should be needed in nature ... odd mixes of color, strange ways things grow, differentiation in methods of pro-creation. It speaks to a God who enjoys the act of creation.

And yet a tree was always a tree -- roots below, bark around, leaves above, speaking to a God who likes a certain order to things.

And that made it a particularly enjoyable afternoon.
