November 23 - Winter RiverLester River Stone Bridge. With winter right around the corner, local rivers, lakes, and streams begin to freeze and settle in for several months' rest under the ice.As winter takes hold, the landscape transforms into a winter wonderland. The peaceful stillness that accompanies the snowfall is only interrupted by the sound of the occasional bird chirping. It's a serene environment that makes you appreciate the beauty of nature in all its forms.From its chamber comes the whirlwind and cold from the scattering winds. By the breath of God, ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen fast. Job 37:9-10

Things are Looking UpClear skies and heavy frost covered the birch trees to reveal creations wonderful beauty.I poked the legs of my tripod through the deep snow and found solid footing. After locking the camera into the bracket, I turned the camera straight upward and focused on the trees and sky of another northern winter.Deep in the woods a woodpecker drummed on a nearby tree searching for its afternoon snack while flakes of frost fluttered through the air, glimmering like tiny diamonds as they made their way to the snow covered ground. It just doesn't get any better than this I thought to myself.Looking up through the trees, I realized that I would never experience this moment in the exact same way, ever again. It gave me an appreciation for the simple things of life, the things that are priceless, things that cannot be purchased, like time. God made the things of this world to give Him glory, and in this case, even the trees seemed to be reaching to the heavens to praise the one who made them.Trekking back home through the knee-high snow, I was warmed by the afternoon sunshine and warmed by thoughts of being a small part of God's design.God set these lights in the sky to light the earth, to govern the day and night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. (Gen 1:17)
