The Incredible Beauty Of Winter

Many of you will not agree with the title of this post, but bear with me for a short while. I will try to help you see the beauty of winter.

Let me just say, that I am waiting for spring as much as anyone, but while we have winter and since I can't change the weather, I will CHOOSE to find beauty.

A friend popped in the other day and asked if I was good with impromptu. Yes, of course, I love that.

Her response was, get your jacket and your camera and let's go. That is just what we did. 

Driving around , we had to be very alert, because of the multiple snowdrifts across or partially across the roads. At one point we decided it was better to get out, get a few pictures and turn around.

Those sharp snowdrifts are beautiful, even more so when I think that each drift is made up of thousands, perhaps millions of the tiniest snowflakes, and together they have the power to stop us in our tracks.

How great is our God!

Some drifts are away from the road, but no less beautiful. The details in these snow sculptures is incredible.

These 'waves' of snow, form in the open field. 

Because I can, I zoomed in on some of these sculptures. In this shot (below) you can see short pieces of road showing through.

Zooming in even more allows us to see the layers and patterns. I find images like this just fascinating.

God’s power and beauty surround us.

He reveals Himself through sunsets,

Rainbows and tiny snowflakes.

God’s creation is a masterpiece and His handiwork is seen everywhere —

From a blade of grass to the planets in outer space.

God created the world for us to enjoy,

And to prove that He exists.

If we want to see God today, we just need to go outdoors and open our eyes.
