Little Problems

Now that Alisha and I are back to a normal routine, we deal with little problems. No more life-or-death consequences or drastic decisions plague our minds. Mundane questions like what to eat for dinner or how to design our lawn become the big queries we must answer. Our problems have been reduced to tiny inconveniences, as small as ants. Actually, ants are our problem:

With Alisha's macro lens, we were able to capture details while the ants gleefully ate our prepared dinner of poison:

Watching Roscoe develop has given us a new appreciation for the creation that God has unfolded before our eyes. Typically our awe is triggered by stunning sunsets, towering mountains, or flowery fields ... but ants? Absolutely.

These tiny creatures communicate, organize, and learn all on their own. What sophisticated man-made robot has the abilities of an ant? They know how to build a nest, gather food, and return safely (unless I squish them first). Though wikipedia isn't a totally reliable source of information, I enjoyed reading this section which describes ant behavior. Keep a healthy appreciation for God's creation everywhere you look!
