Stepping Out the Door
It was a bit brisk when I slipped out of the house this morning . Thirty degrees and foggy.I just wanted to photograph a few trees just below the house in the fog.The first find was some water drops on a madrone leaf right outside the back door on the deck.I expected them to be frozen but they weren't. Then I moved onward to photograph the trees. I was only out there about twenty minutes or so but it was cold enough to numb my fingers as I kept trading my hands back and forth between my tripod and my pockets.
When I got back into the house to warm up and edit the images I thought about the upcoming Christmas and how truly blessed I am. I have a beautiful family, a warm house and good food to eat.I also have the best gift of all given to mankind two thousand twelve years ago. The birth of Jesus.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16.
Something I need to think about a lot more in my daily life.
God bless everyone and have a Merry Christmas,
chris
