New Mexico Sunrise and Walking Stick Bug Surprise
Beautiful blessings in plain sight. We all have *those* days where everything feels off or seems to go wrong. But, have you ever have had days when everything seemed to be a wonderful, beautiful surprise? Sometimes all we need to do is slow down, breathe and take a look around. 
I was exceedingly blessed to witness a most spectacular sunrise last Thursday morning. AND I happened to have my camera with me so I was able to snap a few pics to share. Click the images to open larger images. Use your browser back button to return to this page.
Later this very same day, I found this little treasure:
Looking through a window at the underside of a Phasmida (Walking Stick Bug). It’s about 5-6 inches long not including the super long antennae.
On the outside of the window (it’s highly reflective!). Gorgeous, subtle colors. Such a treat to see this amazing creature.
Now…how about you tell me about your blessings in plain sight?

Tracy, your emails are so encouraging that I actually look forward to seeing what you are going to say! Some days, it’s that blessing that God sends from you. Thanks. Charlie
Your pictures look like it was purposely painted that way. They are glorious. Thank you for sharing and for your kind thoughts that you send our way–may they come back to you ten-fold.
You share such inspiration always! Wondrus pictures! I love reading your thoughts, you have helped many of us and don’t even know it. I thank you for that gentle reminder to just stop and count your blessings.
Tracy, You continue to bless us by your words and the spectacular photos you share with us all. I just love your site.
Thanks!
Thank you for the pics. Beautiful. I just try to look around each day at the wonderful, beautiful world we live in.
I enjoyed the pics. I’m in Az and we get some beautiful sunrise and sunsets also. I like the bug. Nature does some amazing things.
Your sunrise picture is awesome. I also see lots of great sunrises
on my trek to get the morning paper and often have to grab the camera.
We are approximately 5 miles from Lake Michigan in Wisconsin and high
enough on a hill to see great sunrises AND sunsets.
Nature is always interesting and amazing, isn’t it? I tried to attach
one or more of these recent ones but couldn’t–so you’ll just have
to take my word.
