Dedication

To my lovely bride Jan, and my sons Jake and Jon.

For all the paths less traveled looking for the perfect shot.
For waiting patiently while an insect refused to cooperate.
Thank you all for the encouragement and love.
Special thanks to Jan for listening to God and being bold enough to follow.

How to get the most from

A Walk With God In The Garden
Be bold, be courageous and know that your Heavenly Father is in control of every minute detail.
Have a heart of humility, and a desire to make your Creator proud of your accomplishments and
perseverance. This pictorial journal is meant to encourage, to challenge and to bring hope to anyone
willing to take the journey. Pay attention to the detail in which God created these flowers and know that
you are so much more valuable to Him than any of these.
For years I have taken my camera on trips dragging my family down the paths less travelled
thinking only of the perfect photo that lies beyond. I have taken many photos that still bring fond
memories and evoke emotions of that moment in time.
Every time I peered through the lens to get a closer view I see Gods creation in all of its splendor and
glory. I see the meticulous detail in which He formed every cell and molecule. Nothing is left to chance.
I often wonder, when I am taking in Gods handiwork, how Adam must have felt walking in the cool of
the day with God. Seeing His creations for the first time and actually naming them. I envision him going
from one bloom to the next and looking back at a smiling Father whispering to him, I made that for
you.
It is a privilege to share these snap shots in time. Enjoy the journey.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is
not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not
easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight
in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
