My cup runneth over: Nature appreciation

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day

after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. Psalm 19:1-4

I have never been an admirer of nature. I didn't get nature conservation, disliked Geography and studying of any animals. There was one Biology project where I was asked to collect different types of inserts pin them to a board and then write what kind of insert they were. I'm sure I didn't do well in that project.

I have grown to appreciate nature more as I appreciate God's creation. I have been blessed to see some of the most beautiful places in the world. The Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe was absolutely amazing. I have admired gorgeous beaches in Seychelles. I have seen The Bund in Shanghai. I enjoyed the tranquility of the Malawi lake. Cape Town is stunning with it's natural beauty. I love Durban and it's beautiful beaches. I enjoy going to the Kruger National park to see the wild life. I once saw a leopard hunting live in a nature reserve in South Africa. I've been to Champagne Sports in the Drakensberg with friends and I was in awe of the beauty created by God. South Africa is blessed with beautiful sights where you can just see God's splendor.

I recently went to a place called Al Ain, one of the Emirates. It was so awesome to see beauty in the mist of the desert. I took these beautiful pics at Jebel Hafeet mountain.

This view was WOW my picture doesn't do it justice!

I have also been to a place called Salalah in Oman. On the drive all you see is desert for hours then you arrive to this beautiful place which is like an oasis after such a long drive.
