~ virtually no wind, and falling snow so fine it looks like fog and feels like gentle mist kissing my cheeks.
It blankets the entire countryside with silent white. Passing vehicles are almost soundless, bouncing jack rabbits are almost invisible, and I am almost sure no one else has audience with God but me in that moment.
My appreciation for the splendor of the skies and for the majesty of the Creator Himself would indeed be incomplete if I chose not to walk in the winter.

I would be depriving myself of at least a third of that message if I chose to cloister myself indoors during the colder, darker months of the year.
If I am not careful...
I am going to find myself liking winter.

Beautiful pictures, as always!
Beautiful! I need to take a page from your book and enjoy the beauty around me instead of up in the house!
This was refreshing!! I could imagine myself there!! Beautiful. Thank you for sharing these pictures and the inspiring words to embrace the winter. That is truly a season in my life that I feel like I'm in right now.. yet, this is a challenge to embrace it. And thank God for the promise of spring. :) Until then, may the crisp cool air bring a spring in my step & refreshment to my soul. :) Thanks!
