William Wise Photo Nature Notes is a wildlife, landscape, birding and nature photography blog documenting the beauty, design and wonder of God’s creation. -- Jeremiah 27:5 'I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed proper to Me. An idea for a Creation Speaks lesson has been brewing in my mind. Nearly every day I pass a vulture or two feasting on nasty road kill. It may be disgusting, but they are doing exactly what God has created them to do! What if we were as quick to obey God when He makes His will known to us? And I have to say, anything He asks us to do can't be near as bad as the job the Vultures have!
With that thought in mind, I've stopped for shots of those common vulture feasts I used to drive past. One of those gatherings (below) happened to be on Winterville Road in Athens by my church. It was significant because just the morning before, my pastor was telling me about a suicide deer that crossed his path and messed up his car. The next morning the vultures were doing their job! Athens, Georgia UPDATE - The entire Creation Speaks lesson finally came together and was taught August 23, 2015.

Enjoying some quiet, peaceful bird watching at my backyard feeder in the evening.
Creation Speaks is a Biblical teaching ministry that uses nature writing and photography to glorify our Creator and teach the truth of creation. “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?" Job 12:7-9 On my way to work, just around the corning on Gene Bell Road. I'm surprised this Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna) sat long enough for me to slow, roll down the window, and get a shot for my photography life list. He sits and sings... fittingly and characteristically over a meadow!
