Lake Kegonsa is a wonderful place for boating and fishing, and for people who want to enjoy a quick easy camping trip near civilization. Although you feel like you are away from everything in the woods and marshes, the not-so-distant sounds of city life intrude from time to time including an occasional police siren and airplanes. Also, when the wind and the tides are blowing the wrong way, the swimming area is invaded by debris and makes swimming uncomfortable. We enjoyed our time here, especially the campfires, but we prefer to find places much more remote than this. We probably will not return here again but the time I spent with my daughters was priceless. Amen

Beautiful pictures and one of a kind. I spent many summers with my kids and exhusband in Wisconsin. It is truly a beautiful place to visit and stay for a vacation. I especially liked your verse Isaiah 55:9, yes God's ways are higher than ours and we as christian's ways are higher than the sinner's of this world. We have to have compassion on them, and forgiveness! I marked you up on the hub. People who don't know how to enjoy nature and God's gift to us are really missing out in this life.

Beautiful and uplifting hub. The spider and fire photos were particularly striking, but all were great and you matched the verses up with them perfectly.

Thanks for sharing. Voted up, useful, awesome, beautiful and interesting.

Allen, priceless indeed! My favorite memories of my dad were his taking us out on adventures. We often went in the fall all the way to spring. The deserts and mountains here in Arizona range from sand to varying types of cactus to forests and up to the tree lines where the trees just stop leaving scrub oak and berry filled bushes where the black bears can be found foraging for enough to go into short hibernation due to short cold spells. I loved the pictures as they reminded me of much.

Your presentation of matching scripture was out standing. I loved the last fire photo, had you a scythe the fire and devilish grin you had would have been perfect, LOL, great picture as it was. I saved some of these in my "Allen/Sue family album" Samantha is no doubt all yours, much resemblance there and Sarah perhaps camera shy but she loves you deeply says the picture. It all makes me wish I was there. I had to vote all buttons up. The large spider webs are very cool to see as well,

Blessings and Love, peace

I love the way you matched Scripture with your beautful pictues of God's creation. "The Lord God made it all". You made wonderful memories with your daughters also. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks DeBorrah. I'm truly blessed to have such wonderful children that still like hanging out with me. Nature shows us all the beautiful creating power of the Lord and sharing it with loved ones shows me how important we are to him. What is man? Peace
