Magnolia scented Moonlight…
Starry Southern Nights…

Moonrise tugging on the tide…
Or peeping thru Pillow-y Clouds…

A big full Moon hanging, on a pitch black sky…
Twinkling Blinking Star Lights-
Wishing us Good Night!
When we consider all, the work God’s Hands have made.. And see the stars– we can’t help but be- in awesome wonder! And, must proclaim- ‘My God, how great Thou Art!’
Our Heavenly Father, seems to have endowed ‘Alabama the Beautiful’ with an extra measure of beauty- day or night! The ‘Night Skies’ photographs were taken by our very own Star! The Award Winning Jeremy Miniard! Camellia’s Cottage has been blessed to have Jeremy as an enthusiastic part of our team for almost two years! Since January brought not one but two glorious full moons and several stunning star filled nights- I asked Jeremy for a collection of Alabama moon and stars and- as you can see- he never disappoints! The struggle is coming up with words when his images speak volumes. Enjoy!
Love y’all, Camellia

For God so loved the heavenly Stars- He gave them to the Maple Tree.
