They usually come out in May. So from the end of April, I was looking for them, but I didn't see any. The beginning of May, and there weren't any either. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th...
And yesterday, the 17th--finally--they came! I was looking at the turtles in the Irrigation Ditch when I heard their familiar call. I found myself saying to the turtles that I'd be right back as I hurried away, heart dancing, turning on my camera. I'd heard them; but would I be able to spot them?
I intently scanned the pond's surface, now covered with lily pads. I knew I had to be careful, because the coloring was just like the lily pads, and I could be staring right at one and not know it if I looked too quickly.
"Took you long enough." it seemed to say.
I find it hard to fathom that the Sovereign of the universe would pass His eyes over the whole earth, looking for those who seek Him. "The eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards him."
