I went outside again this morning to capture the rising sun and loved the way the trees cast a long shadow. Most of the snow has melted since yesterday.
Which photo do you like better? Number 1, 2 or 3?
My paternal Grandmother enjoyed sculpting and this is one of her owls with an ear missing.
Little bits of snowy ice on this bush are pretty…
The lane was awash with light…
Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.

The first of the three is the one I would have to pick. It has been awhile since I’ve heard a Kahlil Gibran quote. This one was perfect for the pics.

I sure like looking of pictures of cold, beautiful places, but I am so glad I live in California were the definition of cold is 55 degrees! 🙂

Sherry,
Of those 3 photos, I like #2 the best. But, your last photo “The lane was awash with light” is my favorite in this “The Day After” series. If you want to sell a digital copy of that last photo, just let me know. – – – Dave 8 – )
