Even The Flowers Proclaim God's Word

As planned, we made it to Yankee Boy Basin, outside of Ouray, Colorado in the great San Juan mountains. The flowers are a little late this year, but they have certainly begun to bloom in their glory. Below are a few of the snaps I took after our Jeep reached the basin. I cannot begin to describe the vistas around us. Today, however, I'll simply share a few images of the flowers that grow up there in abundance and add a couple comments. If I've mis-identified, I welcome corrections.

Here are a few passages from God's Word to meditate upon as we consider the wondrous beauty of the mountain flowers. 

And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you,even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? - Matthew 6:28-30

As a lily among brambles,
   so is my love among the young women. . .
for behold, the winter is past;
    the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth,
   the time of singing has come - Song of Solomon 2:2,11-12

As for man, his days are like grass;
   he flourishes like a flower of the field;
for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
   and its place knows it no more.
But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him - Psalm 103:15-17
