Snowflakes and Sunshine

Yesterday when I came out of the grocery store, huge snowflakes were coming down and the sun had just come out from behind a cloud and was shining brightly. It was a beautiful sight! I wished I had my camera! When will I learn to carry it with me all the time (I vow to from now on!).

By the time I got home, the sun had slipped behind the clouds and the snowflakes had become smaller, but, I decided to pick up my camera and drive out to a local pond and try to get some pictures anyway. We had some snow on the ground from the night before, and because it was so cold I suspected the pond had ice on it. I was hoping to get some pictures with the sun out and snow falling. I wasn’t able to, but I did get a few nice pictures of the pond. It's hard to see the snow in these pictures, but it was still snowing.

The geese and ducks didn’t seem to mind the ice at all.

They did seem to expect me to feed them though. :)

I love God’s glorious creation. I like to be outside or even just looking out of a window if I’m not able to be out there. There is always something amazing to see. The birds, the trees, the clouds, the moon, the stars…it’s all fascinating to me. I enjoy taking pictures of God’s glorious creation too.

Snowflakes and Sunshine at the same time. That was a first for me, and a real treat for me. God is so amazing.
