"The world is charged with the grandeur of God." - Gerard Manley Hopkins
I took these photos on the last evening
of a staff retreat at Salter Path, N.C.
Transformation was the theme.
| A praying mantis waits for prey on a nasturtium in the veggie garden. |
| I'm glad I photographed this butterfly because I haven't seen one since. Where are you, butterflies? |
| The veggie jungle |
| Bees of different varieties are obsessed with the flowering oregano. |
| The red hibiscus flowers turn into umbrellas. Rain, rain, rain - we've been getting late day storms nearly every day. |
| Daylilies remain stunning. |

| Beach at sunrise |
| Blackberry picking |
| A mystery flower emerges from a tall plant with iris-like leaves. Can you identify it? |
