When the Snow Fell


I was away when we had the last big snowfall - about eight inches around here.  Several days later I returned home and some of it had melted, but the side yard and garden were still covered with snow.  Late one afternoon the sun was low and the shadows were long.  And a shaft of sunlight was skimming the snow in the yard, and it illuminated the stone angel that lives in our garden.  She seems so alone. This is such a beautiful image seen larger.  Please click on it.

  1. Seen larger, the angel contemplates the bare remnants of what was once living and green. Sam wonders if Mother Nature similarly contemplates what we have done to her Earth. It's "that kind of day."

  2. Lovely comment. Wonderful how a stone statue can inspire us to contemplate these feelings.
