Earth's crammed with Heaven and every common bush afire with God
But only those who see take off their shoes
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries

The Birds of the Heavens

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
   the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
   and the son of man that you care for him?
 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
   and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
    you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen,
   and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
   whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
 O LORD, our Lord,
   how majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalm 8:3-9, ESV

I love seeing God's fingerprints on creation. For the last week or so I have been fascinated by this live feed from a camera mounted near an eagles nest. You can watch the pair of bald eagles working together to feed, and protect their three chicks.
