The blues

Yesterday afternoon the clouds cleared and the sun came out really strong. What that left us were some beautiful views of the Andes. They are always so stunning to behold. They are so HUGE and the way they just drop into the Amazon Basin covering themselves with jungle is gorgeous. They are quite a bit different from a Pine or Aspen tree forest in the Rocky Mountains, but beautiful none the less.


These are just the foothills visible from our hangar. They looked so awesome with the clouds just wisping through them. You could sit there and just watch God's handiwork and how the wind was blowing the clouds into different shapes and directions.


Here is Sangay Volcano to the south. Sangay, Tungurahua, and Reventador Volcanoes are all very active right now. Sangay and Tungurahua are within a 30 mile radius of my house. Reventador is north about 50 miles. You can see the wind is out of the south in the picture above, blowing the small ash cloud our way towards the north in Shell.

I often post things about mountains, bugs, animals etc. I am facinated with nature. If you just stop for those small moments everyday, and observe what is around you, you cannot help but be in awe of what God created and continues to create. Everything from clouds, weather, waterfalls, etc is so awesome. God's creation is so dynamic. Even the apostle Paul talks of the power of God's creation in Romans. (1:18-20)

So true, Sean. I've always thought it was so great that you appreciate all of God's wonders. From one who has wept over the beauty of falling snow, I enjoy your enthusiasm! Love 'ya, son-in-law!
