I enjoy using my photography to make Bible Verse Images. Today, I wanted to use images from Italy to illustrate Psalm 23. Most of the images are from Val d’Orchia in Tuscany.

Lakeside Views
I spent a month in my hometown. My parents home is on the lake, a big lake, and I loved watching the personality of the lake each day as the weather and time of day changed. Here are a few images I captured.

Val d’Orcia or Valley of the Orcia River in Tuscany
The Tuscany photography workshop I attended in June was held in and around the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO site and covers an extensive area. Vineyards, agriculture, sheep pastures, and many medieval cities are contained in the area. The views of the entire valley were gorgeous. Here are just a few images I captured of this lovely valley.

Peonies Slightly Beyond Their Prime
Peonies are strange flowers. Ants love them they can be perfectly round and a half sphere, or they can be all squiggly. Here’s a few from my garden today! (Find the ants!)

Spring Has Sprung
The backyard is full of flowers and green. Where last week there was brown and a few blossoms here and there, today there are blossoms where there hadn’t been buds two days ago. It is like Spring is making up for lost time! So this afternoon, a few of those blossoms were captured.
Wind in the Willows
The willow trees are leafing out, and the branches are full of catkins. The wind was blowing today and the willow branches were moving and swaying. The contrast of the early leaf yellow and the blue sky was particularly beautiful. These were captured with my iPhone 7, the camera that is always with me, using the Slow Shutter App. Then Lightroom was used to add contrast and clarity.

A Few Spring Flowers
The wind and clod and snow did not destroy all the Spring Flowers! As I walked around my backyard today to see what survived. The Scilla, Daffodils, Glory in the Snow, Windflowers and Blood Root are beautiful. I am promised a very large crop of Bluebells looking at the buds. The Trout Lily and Celosia Poppy are filling the ground with green. Not many leaves on the trees yet. But maybe we’ve turned the corner from Winter.
