As I wrote yesterday, June and I were in Estes Park recently, and one of the highlights is always the wildlife.

Elk, ducks, turkeys, prairie dogs…and June saw a baby bear when I wasn’t with her. Not a good thing since she didn’t know where the bear’s mama was. (If you’re not seeing the pictures, click here to see them on the website.) We stayed VERY clear of the bull elk because, as I wrote a few years ago, elk ignore you until they don’t.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all. – Cecil Alexander, 1848

God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1.25, NLT)

[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible…—all things were created through him and for him. (Colossians 1.15, 16, ESV)
