Creation Day Series: Day 3

| Allison

I had a lot of fun putting together the collage for this one! I love taking pictures of plants and flowers and hills. I’m so glad God chose to make plants and flowers like he did, to give the world a pop of natural color!

9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

Day 3 - 2 Day 3 - 1

Some of these pictures were from vacations I went on. If you think about it, people admire God’s creations, like waterfalls, National Parks, and giant redwood trees so much that they travel from far away just to see them. And why shouldn’t they?

Creation Series: Day 2

| Allison

(See the first post here.)

6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

Day 2

I love the sky and pretty much any kind of water: oceans, waterfalls, rivers… But God separated the ocean, etc. on day 3. See you tomorrow!

Creation Series: Day 1

| Allison

This week I’m going to try something different. For each day, I will post pictures of things God created on that day, in the very beginning when he created the world, along with the bible verse that goes with them. For instance, the first day (Sunday) God separated the light from the dark, so that’s what I’ll post about today. All of the pictures were taken by me. I hope you enjoy!

Day 1:

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

Day 1

It’s hard to imagine what it would be like if we didn’t have both light and dark, isn’t it?

I don’t have many pictures for the first two days, but I had a LOT of options for the 3rd and 6th days, especially. See you tomorrow for sky and water – the 2nd day!

An Interview with the Rabbits about the Newcomer

| Allison

My sister Megan got a new rabbit! (Because Mango died 😦 ) Her name is Clementine, and she is an adorable lop rabbit! Here’s her profile:
********************************************************************************

Breed: Holland Lop

Color: Light brown with darker brown on her ears and nose

Name: Clementine

Gender: Doe (female)

*******************************************************************************

First I’ll show you some pictures of Clementine, and then I’ll have the rabbits’ interviews.

005 011 010 009 007 006

018

Below is Clementine in the bunny-hat. So cute! (See my bunny fashion post.)

014

Ahem. Now for the interviews.  First up, hmmm, let’s go oldest to youngest.

So Diamond, what do you think about this new rabbit?

016

Humph. She is invading my territory. I try to put her in back in her place by nipping her, but the humans just shut me up in this cage as a punishment  – just for defending my territory! Humph.

Okaaayyy… let’s move on to Lily.

017

Well, to be quite honest with you, she seems a little strange to me. I mean, her ears can’t even stand up! And what’s good about a rabbit whose ears don’t stand up? But I suppose she’s alright. She is an awfully nice snuggler.

Great! Now for Olaf. “Olaf! OLAF! OOLLAAAFF!”

013

*Gasp,* *Heave,* *Grunt.* Yes? You called?

Umm, yes. I wanted to ask you your opinion of Clementine?

Well… she’s nice, I guess.. um… I haven’t really seen her much, but, uh, yeah she OK. So… can I go now?

Yep, sure, go ahead. *Plunk.*

“Willow!”

Yes! Here I am – with Clementine!

008

“Oh… nothing. I wondered what your thoughts were on Clementine, but I can see you’re in the middle of playing with her.”

Oh, yes. She’s my best friend. I’m glad I finally have a playmate! Come on Clementine….

So there you have the bunnies’ opinions on the subject. Clementine seems to be enjoying her stay here, as you can see from her diary post on my sister Megan’s blog.

Bye for now!

A New Video of… a Fly?

| Allison

Yep, my new video is of a fly. But flies are more interesting than you might think. It’s fascinating to watch when them clean themselves. When this little guy cleans his head it looks like he’s about to pop it off, and just take a look at his proboscis!

Here’s a bonus picture. 🙂

013 (2)

Look at those big compound eyes and delicate wings!

Bunny Fashion

| Allison

I recently crocheted a few little accessories for the bunnies to wear, so here is a bunny fashion show!

First, we have Willow. (Of course!)

Willow with flower headband… uh, earband:

002

Willow the athlete!

017 016

And last but not least, a still (ish) life: “Willow with hat.”

002

Next is Lily, sporting the flower earband and an unimpressed look.

005

Diamond “wanted” to try on the hat. (As you may have noticed, my camera doesn’t like black bunnies too well. 😦 )

006

And we musn’t leave Olaf out! Isn’t he handsome in the hat? He looks like the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. 🙂

008And thus ends the fashion show. I wish my camera took better pictures of black (and gray) bunnies, but at least Olaf and Lily are pretty clear.

So which was your favorite entry – who’s the winner?

***Allison***

P.S. If you’re wondering why Mango wasn’t included in the show, it’s because she died a couple of days ago. *Sniff, sniff.* Yet another tragedy: Joy the kitten died too. We aren’t sure how she was killed, but she may have gotten hit by a car or something. Two tragedies in a row… *snnniifff!* But my sister Megan is probably going to get another bunny soon to replace Mango, and we still have Coffee Bean the kitten.
