When snow falls...nature listens

The devotional I read this morning was just for me!

As an amateur /hobbyist photographer,

 I love to capture the beauty of nature, people and whatever catches my eye.

 I have been told I have an "eye" for photography.

I tend to get caught up in Winters beauty. 

What some call brutal cold, I call pure and fresh...exhilarating!

I love to be out in the winter, and my camera usually accompanies me, 

but sometimes the photo doesn't turn out the way I see it,

 it can frustrate me that I don't get to share the beauty that I am seeing through my lens.

My devotional this morning was about a photographer that has the same 

winter passion in photography as I do, and the same frustrations when we can't seem

 to capture the beauty that's in front of us to look the same in a photo.

Instead of frustration the author reminds me to

 Breathe. Savor. Be.

At that moment, what I am seeing through my lens may be for me alone,

  and maybe it's only for right now. 

It's at this time that I need to memorize the details in my head and heart. 

To enjoy the moment and be still.

Be still and know that I am God Psalm 46:10

"GODS CREATION IS MUCH TOO BIG TO BE CONFINED IN MERE PHOTOGRAPHS"

 I dug into my Archive of winter photo's and came up with a few to share 

 Who else appreciates being in the elements of winter

I don't know if I like the contrast of the hoarfrost against the blue sky... 

or the monotone white on gray (with a pop of color)

  It's just all beautiful to me.

There's just something about barns in the winter

For those who are already tired of winter...... 

here's a little hope in what's to come!
