Book God’s Garden of Nature Volume I

Sharing my new book I created from my blog posts here at God’s Garden of Nature.   I wanted to preserve my creativity with these blogs in a book form for myself as well as others to enjoy.

I am not experienced in making a book or writing, so it is not perfect.  I did spend a great deal of time trying to get the right formatting for my blogs to be seen in book form and still maintain the same eye flow as my blogs here have done.   It was not an easy task and took a great deal of my time, but I did enjoy the process.  I am still not satisfied with some of the photos in the book.  They could have been larger, but I had only so much room to work with and still maintain a flow and get as many blogs in this book as I could.

I used a 6 X 9 inch paperback size with 60 pages to try and keep the costs down.   The book includes roughly half the blogs I have created here.  I hope to have a Volume II out sometime in the future.  For now I need to take a break from the whole process.  I also hope in the future to convert the book to e-book which one can be order at a much cheaper price for ipads.  At present Blurb does not support conversion to other e-readers.  My present fonts I had used in my book are not excepted for my e-book conversion I will have to redo all my fonts and hope it will not throw everything to far out of line. 

I do hope you enjoy viewing the book and feel free to order or share with anyone you think might enjoy it.

The viewing can be enlarged by hitting the screen enlargement icon next to the cart icon.  If you have trouble viewing the book on this post here is the link for it at Blurb in my book store.  The price is also listed here
 http://www.blurb.ca/bookstore/detail/3720602 

So this and many other projects have been keeping me busy and away from the blogging world.   I miss my visits with all of you and hope to be by soon to see what has been happening in your world. 

Be Creative
and have a
Good Morning…  Good Afternoon… Good Night…

What ever it is to you

Flowing Feelings of Fall

I drift, I float, I sail through the season.
Searching out natures hidden reason.

Creations by Here I Am/Carrie

 

In secret places I explore,
always looking for that open door.

Creations by Here I Am/Carrie

 

When I find it, through I go,
stepping lightly, breathing slow.

Creations by Here I Am/Carrie

 

A world of color I behold,
God’s gift to me I was told.

Creations by Here I Am/Carrie

 

Reds and yellow that I see,
help my feelings flow in me.

Creations by Here I Am/Carrie

 

A crisp cold presence is in the air,
I can feel it, I know it is there.

Creations by Here I Am/Carrie 

 

A rain of leaves begin to fall,
I can hear the voices of winter call.

Creations by Here I Am/Carrie 

 

It whispers through the breeze,
it’s time to sleep my leafy trees.

Creations by Here I Am/Carrie 

 

I breath deep again as secrets unfold,
the feelings come and soon take hold.

Creations by Here I Am/Carrie 

 

Words can not define the sparkles I see,
as a vision of beauty, I know I am free.

Creations by Here I Am/Carrie 

 

Every detail is suddenly clear,
your presence is felt ever so near.

Creations by Here I Am/Carrie

 

There I see your reflection
and suddenly understand the connection.

Creations by Here I Am/Carrie

 

Your are here surrounding me with your love,
here on earth, not just from above.

So now I feel the flow of fall,
knowing that you exist in all.

My heart smiles in finding you,
as I drift, float and sail through the season.

Where to Focus in Life

We look here we look there.  We look far away and sometimes up close.  Often we wonder where we should focus in life?

Our big world up close is such a fascinating place,
filled with so many intricacies that tie it all together.
That wonderful web of life.

Photos by Here I Am/Carrie

But when looking at the big picture we often don’t see how
every living thing is somehow depending on another.  We somehow
see it all but see it as separate in the big picture of things.

Photos by Here I Am/Carrie

But when one does focus more on a certain living things
you begin to realize how the big picture fades away and you can now
start to see the details that begin to connect to the web of life.

Photos by Here I Am/Carrie

You begin to see it more clearly as a whole and how it can
relate to the bigger, yet still not quite focused picture of life.

Photos by Here I Am/Carrie

We all find ourselves at these different places where
we focus our lives and feel our connections.

Photos by Here I Am/Carrie

Just remember to always stretch your arms out
and let yourself focus, so you can better understand how
we are all connected to God’s wonderful web of life.

Photos by Here I Am/Carrie

 I hope one day everyone can see clearly on whatever
they are focusing on in their life
and have a

Good Morning…   Good Afternoon…   Good Night…
What ever it is to you.
