To Everything There is a Season

A couple of weeks ago the weather was so gray and overcast and foggy.
My mood matched that of the weather outside.
So I thought instead of wishing this day away
I would grab my camera and spend some time
in the fresh winter air.
As I was trudging through the thigh high snow
and watching my breath come in white puffs,
I found myself wondering.

Is the earth anxious?
Does it feel the anticipation of spring?
Or does it have the Eternal Patience of It's Creator?
Do the trees know, that as they feel the water change from ice to
a slow flowing river that there is a change coming?

Or have they learned after hundreds of years
watching and listening, in there stillness,

that this, the season of sleep is meant for something
truly miraculous! Do they reflect on time already spent, and
Wonder of the possibilities that are to come?
Or do they they have true gratitude in this moment that simply
IS!

Here are some of the images I captured of this season called winter!
I hope I was able to capture the stillness and calm that came to me as I saw
these images through my lens!
