Sweetly Singing

So, today our church took our annual trip to the zoo. Rather than simply post pictures of people and animals, I thought I would share a poem specifically about birds and use pictures I took from the zoo. Make sure to click the images to enlarge them.

The poem's title is:
Sweetly Singing

The birds do flit from tree to tree
And sweetly sing their melody.
They raise their heads and sing aloud
With voices that are freely proud.

Lord, please instill this heart in me,
To sing your praise delightfully,
To raise my head and sing aloud,
So that your name does clearly sound.

Just thought I would share that little poem with you. Now, here are the rest of the photos.

Hope you liked the post! Have you ever seen some interesting birds? We saw some rather odd ones today, but some of the pictures did not turn out. Feel free to leave any comments in the comment section below or on Facebook.

The Great Red Dragon of Revelation 12

Sorry this post is a little late! I wanted this project to be done last Sunday, but I kept noticing details that could be added to make it a little better. This post might seem a little random, but it helped me to practice the drawing skills and techniques that I know. This includes: drawing dragon heads, adding small details to half-finished ideas, and adding shading. The idea for this design came from my Mom, when she saw me drawing dragon head designs and challenged me to draw the seven-headed dragon from Revelation 12:3 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." My initial idea looked like this: Click to enlarge. I realized that this wouldn't work, for my drawing skills at least, so I changed the design to this: Click to enlarge. I wanted a large center head that captured attention, so I worked on that next: Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge. F...

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with sn...
