My Strength is not My Own: Skyward I Look

My brother has a love of photography like I do. Unlike myself though he actually takes tons of photos. lol Although I have taken around 5,000 photos. It's not like that is a lot or anything... ;) Anyway these photos were taken by my brother and I simply adore them! Hope you enjoy as well!

I love when the sun will pierce through the clouds! It's always so beautiful!

Bamboo! Yes, we have bamboo on our property. :)

God bless and have a wonderful week!
