God's Garden in Slovakia

No, these aren't more photos from

Austria - see pics from that part of our trip here.

While Slovakia's High Tatra mountains cover less land area,

they're also quite spectacular.

We were blessed with the opportunity to

return to Slovakia as part of the leadership team

for a youth camp this summer

in the shadow of the High Tatras, 

a glorious corner of creation.

"...the hills are clothed with gladness. 

The meadows are covered with flocks and

the valleys are mantled with grain;

they shout for joy and sing."

Psalm 65:12

Once again, several of these photos are

happily shared by our

team photographer and good friend,

J Harris (see her fantastic shots of Austria here).

 

Window boxes are great.

Slovakia offers peaceful countryside...

Orava Castle

...and ancient castles hinting at long ago battles.

Spissky Castle ruins.

 While living in Slovakia, raising my children there, 

the people and land stole my heart.

If you ever have the chance, be sure to visit.

God's Garden in Austria

What garden can compare with
the  beauty of God's creation?

The Austrian Tirol is certainly one of His masterpieces.

What a priviledge it was to be surrounded by

such glory for a few days.

"You answer us with

awesome deeds of righteousness,

O God our Savior,
the hope of all the ends of the earth and of
the farthest seas, who formed
the mountains by your power...."

Psalm 65:5,6
