What matters...

Once again, 

I am reminded that

when all is said and done,

when we have finished our searching,

our trying and our chasing after the wind,

what truly matters

are people.

Moon Glow

It always amazes me how

stepping from my busy, noisy indoor life

 outside into the peaceful evening, even just for a minute, 

inhaling the cool, fresh breeze in the glow of the moon,

brings a sense of tranquility.

Unexpected Gems

Beauty in the simplicity of a cold winter's morning.

Winter sunset on the beach, ... a hint of magic in the air.

Winter Treasures

Even in the depths of winter
in the heart of the city
winter treasures
can be discovered...

if we have eyes to see them.

Nature's Graceful Transitions

Nature has a way of transitioning gracefully
from one season to the next,

reminding us that
we need not fear
the cold barrenness that may follow...
it can be faced with dignity, beauty even,
giving us hope
to sustain us through those
long dark days of winter.

Rainbow smile :)
