  Whenever I walk through the Glen Helen Nature Preserve, I’m seeking a special kind of silence: One that echoes peace. One that resounds in the doings of the creatures in life, hard at work and scrutinizing in their attendance to the vitality and balance of the earth. It’s beautiful; in one chance rest along the path, you can watch the divine wheel of our world turn, and understand the story without a word. Photo credit: Aubree Brown

  While planting echinacea flowers late in spring to serve the summer pollinators, this delicate crab spider made an appearance. How easily this messenger could’ve gone unseen, not much larger than a seed from the plant she blends into. But even more enchanting is the little skull that seems painted on the baby-pink spider. This struck me as a reminder of the wisely guided and often unnoticed details of a fragile, and simultaneously immense life, to be cherished … and its gifts honored. Photo credit: Aubree Brown

  This picture was my very first “fall photo” of the year. It caught my attention as I was walking up my drive way. I was intrigued by how only one leaf stood on its own. Had I not looked down and stopped I would’ve never noticed this. We should always stop and recognize as well as admire God’s creation even in the little things! Photo credit: Rayjohnny Williams
• Religion and Environment Photo Gallery: Iris Mark, “Seeking Truth Among the Birds.”

  Libby Mark, a 9 year old future explorer and curiosity extraordinaire, tests out the binoculars as she looks towards the heavens to find species of bird that live in the saltwater marshes lining Barnstable Bay, Cape Cod. Similar to the way we look for God in our day to day lives, we often find his wonders in nature. My sister looked a little too hard though, the bird was sitting right on the railing behind her, just like sometimes you only need to turn around for the answer to become clear.

  At Camp Albermarle, God and environmental stewardship are one. Students who volunteer for the North Carolina Coastal Federation through Buck-I-SERV are fortunate to stay at a beautiful campground whose roots are deep in stewardship for all types of creation. Being an environmental steward gets one closest to creation and at Camp Albermarle, it seems even that much closer. Photo credit: Jackson Howard
