And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31)

(The Moss Forest - The Cord Woods: The Spore Pods - 05) These are some of the maturing spore pods of the cord moss that are at the ends of the slender stocks that rise above their inner jungle. The total height of the stocks is less than an inch and such creative detail is most often missed as we walk by. God's magnificence seems to be displayed at every scale we choose to observe it, whether it's the vastness of space as seen through the Hubble telescope, or the many vistas we have upon this earth, or the smaller details we have displayed in these photos, or those things we only can see with a microscope. And one day, if we are able to see actual atomic particles, we will see God's creative handiwork there, too

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.  Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither can we have lasting peace without love and compassion.  It is our hope and prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our environment.
