Snow and Fall




There is something poignant and bittersweet to me when snow falls on the autumn leaves - like Mother Nature can get as confused as we humans do sometimes. Since I am in the midst of a little confusion of my own right now - this is strangely comforting to me.

I'm sorry to read that you're going through a confusing time. If there is anything specific that you would like prayer for, feel free to email me.

I like the images you posted. I have a similar fondness for light snowfalls in fields of rubble from cornstalks. For some reason, the image is very poignant to me.

The pictures - wow!

PS: I live in high elevation, and have experienced my first snow on Aug 31 this year, when the trees were still green and lush. Sigh.

Like Ruth said, if I can pray for anything, just let me know. I think those pics are beautiful. I love when winter gently sets in like that.

A wise man once told me, "Confusion comes from compromise, clarity comes from change." I hope your confusion clears up soon. Wonderful photos!
