Winter is a beautiful time of year but burrrrrrrrr……. The white stuff has fallen a couple of times already and I continually find myself hating it more and more. Not so much the snow but the agonizing, bitter, freezing wind. Then it is a thing like this that will change my mind. I happened to stumble upon this beautiful site of the sun shining throught the limbs of a tree early in the morning. The tree is one in front of the Fine Arts building, refracting iridescent snow and light.
Isn’t that beautiful? I couldn’t believe it. I would’ve missed this had I not gone in early to work on an art project and brought my camera to take pictures of my piece. When I saw this tree, I almost forgot I had my camera with me. I just stared for ages and I remember saying to myself, “Aww dang I wish I had my camera.” Then it dawned on me that I did have it, although it took forever to unbundle myself to get to it. I’m thankful I did.
If it must be cold at least God still has a hand in the creation of beauty for us all to behold. Let us all be thankful for everything we are given and able to behold. Remember to see the beauty in everything we would otherwise miss.
