The sky is an ever changing work of art. What is it that keeps us from running out of our homes and places of work to see what it looks like NOW?

Barn on a January Evening

“In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.”  ~ Aaron Rose

winter's voice

"Never are voices so beautiful as on a winter's evening, when dusk almost hides the body, and they seem to issue from nothingness with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day."  ~Virginia Woolf


Have you heard the voice of the woods, of late,
through the cold and wintry air?

Unlike Any Other Beauty

"There is peace there: and silence is there--and, withal, a beauty that is not like any other beauty." Fiona Macleod speaking of the highlands in winter

*A Sunday afternoon walk through the woods behind my house renders to me the peace, silence and beauty Macleod so eloquently speaks of. 

lessons from a pond in winter

there is a thing called
raw
cold
beauty

even feathers
get stuck sometimes
(take heart; spring is coming)

it doesn't matter if i understand how
it all happens
but my choice to see
or not to see
is daily life or death
to me



"What a severe yet master artist old Winter is.....No longer the canvas and the pigments, but the marble and the chisel."  ~John Burroughs  "The Snow-Walkers"  1866

New Year's Eve Request

Abba Father,

what is past
is 
past

today i stand poised

on the edge of eternity

curious, expectant,
sometimes afraid 

You have said

I am "never 
alone" 

so hold my hand, papa God,

and though my steps 
at times
will falter
help  me proceed
purposefully 

into that unknown territory
beyond 
the trees

amen

“Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don’t be afraid.”   ~Frederick Buechner

“I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” ~Jesus

A Happy New Year from our crew:

wondering

how can it be
i see a sight
such as this

on an
ordinary Wednesday?




"I really believe there are things nobody would see if i didn't photography them."  ~Diane Arbus
