Winter Beauty

We've hardly had any snow this winter so I've had to reach into my archives to get these photos from my winter garden:

 When the snow outlines the branches it highlights the intricacy of trees and bushes.  You begin to notice things you'd normally look past.

And then you notice the tracks in the snow.  I'm amazed at the traffic in our yard--a veritable crossroads for all manner of critters!

 The shadows from tall, leafless trees are more pronounced.

 And when we have an ice storm....well, my breath is taken away by the sheer beauty of it!

Father, there is so much beauty to behold if I will just take the time to notice.  May I keep my eyes and heart open to all that You are.
