Some keep the Sabbath going to Church,
I keep it staying at Home—
With a bobolink for a Chorister,
And an Orchard, for a Dome.
- Emily Dickinson

I went to my "church" this morning - Nature. And specifically the Dykeman Spring Nature Park. Since I'm on vacation I took my time and spent a leisurely 3 hours wandering, sitting, and meditating. Join me in absorbing the beauty of Nature, basking in Mama Gaia's glory.

| A Northern Rough-winged Swallow greeted me at the beginning of the nature trail |

| Cool, running water is always a welcome sight on a hot Summer morning |
 |
| My pew this morning was a bench under a Black Locust. This is the upward view |
 |
| Reflections on the north duck pond do very well as a stained glass window |
 |
| Going up to the upland meadow you need to climb this stairway |
 |
| The hay path on the meadow. I always expect to see a Conestoga wagon on it |
 |
| "For purple mountains' majesty" - the northern mountains from the meadow |
 |
| A Cabbage White butterfly on the upland meadow |
 |
| Coming back down the hill to sit by the pond again; it's the ducks' lunchtime |
 |
| A Common Whitetail dragonfly, a parting gift from Mama Gaia as I head for home |
