The earth brought forth vegetation...

Then God said: Let the earth bring forth vegetation: every kind of plant that bears seed and every kind of fruit tree on earth that bears fruit with its seed in it. And so it happened: the earth brought forth vegetation: every kind of plant that bears seed and every kind of fruit tree that bears fruit with its seed in it. God saw that it was good.  

Genesis 1:11-13

I originally chose this because the photo is from Epcot's Flower and Garden Festival, so clearly, it goes with the "God made the plants" idea.  Throughout Epcot, there are beautiful gardens planted for the event.  In the World Showcase, each nation highlights typical flora of the area, from an American-style kitchen garden (herbs and vegetables) to a formal English flower garden to the beautifully shaped bonsai displayed in the Japan pavillion.  It's amazing to see the incredible variety of plants that fill the earth.

On the whimsical side, as I was writing this, I thought of Phineas' tag line.  In the beginning minutes of every episode, he strikes this pose and says to his brother, "Ferb, I know what we're going to do today!"  I can just hear God deciding what He wants to create in the world, and saying to Himself as the ideas order themselves, "Aha! I know what I'm going to do today!"
