springtime in the Rockies

Thank you sincerely for bearing with a heavier dose of subject matter last week, looking at the groaning of some of God's creatures.  But having celebrated Easter this weekend and the unimaginable gift of Christ's resurrection for us His children, and all creation, we happily turn the page to the theme of redemption, and the hope God has for His beloved animals! 

Ray Paunovich of Wild Planet Films has provided another perfect opportunity for doing so, through his typically mesmerizing and heart-lifting video short "Springtime in the Rockies", a "natural look (at) the renewal of life in our Rocky Mt. West":

The footage of animals, including many newborns, is captivating as always, and I especially enjoyed the adorable shot of two baby bears wrestling.  "Spingtime in the Rockies" features a beautiful music track from John Barry, as well as additional video by Kenn M. Ligas and SFX by Jeff Rogers.  We've featured Ray Paunivich's excellent work more than a few times now, including an awe-inducing look at sunrise in "The Magic Hour."

Ask the LORD for rain in the springtime; it is the LORD who makes the storm clouds.  He gives showers of rain to men, and plants of the field to everyone. (Zechariah 10:1, NIV)
