Birds in the Virginia Mountains
Photos by Kristina Elaine Greer [1.]
Kristina Elaine (Laney) Greer is an artist in Selma, Virginia, up in the Alleghany Mountains. She was my studio assistant when she was in college and she now has her own studio; Laney’s Palette [click to visit]. In addition to creating her beautiful paintings and murals, Laney is also a photographer. These are some photos of the birds around her home which were a very lovely gift to us!

Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?” – Matthew 6:26

When through the woods
And forest glades I wander
And hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook
And feel the gentile breeze”
– How Great Thou Art
