Destiny In The Mists

Sometimes when we look ahead to the next leg of life’s journey we can’t really see where it will take us. The temptation is stay where we are and be comfortable. However, the truth is that there is no staying where we are. We either move forward or we are pulled back. We have to trust the bridge builder. He knew how to make the bridge strong enough to hold us up and he knew where the bridge had to go. We may not see the destiny clearly now but as we draw closer the vision will clear and we’ll know where to step.

My closing thoughts for tonight’s post is that faith is moving forward in trust and it is necessary for a well lived life.

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.

Homecoming 1865

Color Photography, Landscapes, winter

Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “The Ghosts Of Winter 120120a ” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

I stood by the roadside near the old battlefield as the Winter wind whispered through empty branches. The wind spoke of days gone by when the soldiers left the battlefield to return to their loved ones. Candles were lit in every window and every hearth held a warm fire. The empty spots at tables were prepared with the best dinnerware in expectations of being filled. Families hoped as they prayed that they would soon hear the sound of boots on the doorstep. The baying of excited hounds harald coming of a favored son. His beard is now thick and unkept and obscures his face but his eyes look tenderly on those who he left behind. The exchange of embraces exceed the need for spoken words which are more often than not merely ceremony. The humble table of rough hewn lumber is adorned with handmade trimming but sports a feast of royal proportion. Yet even though he had not eaten in several days the soldier pauses to pray and bless both the meal and his family. There is nothing like being home for the holidays. Even if it took eight months of marching to get there. After the meal he removed his boots and placed them in box under the bed. They were marching boots and after today he wouldn’t need march anymore.

Cold Days & Favorite Meals

Color Photography, winter

Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “Holly In The Park 120120a” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

Cold wind curls over the mountains and spills into my life. Old man winter can rage on but he cannot reach me. A warm thermos of coffee serves as an elixir of health as I sit in my chair and watch the firelight from across the room. As the snow swirls outside my frost covered window the winter mood overtakes me and there’s only one thing I can do. Put on a pot of homemade soup. The pantry is well stocked with the usual ingredients and before long the house is full of the aroma of childhood memories. I allow the crock pot to simmer most of the day as I worked my day job. Patience has it’s own reward at the end of day when the flavors of the vegetables and beef are blended perfectly and served with a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s my profound belief that God gave us cold snowy days so we can better enjoy comfort foods like a good homemade stew.

Before I close let me ask what your favorite winter meal is?

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.

First Hunt

Color Photography, Fiction Story, Landscapes, winter

Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “First Snow 120120a” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

The canoe glides silently through the water as the youth watches for any sign of movement on the banks. The weight of his responsibility is balanced only by his people’s faith in his skills. His movement is slow and determined so as not to disturb the noisy blue jays that live in the trees. He’s been hunting this area for a few months now and he knows not only the landscape but also the lives of the animals that call this place home. He knows that the falls are close by the subtle changes in the current and a simple change in the angle of his paddle brings him to shore. He hunkered down behind a stand of seedling hemlock and waited. He prayed for favor as his sharp eyes kept a vigil on low gaps of the meadow before him. It wasn’t long before the buck made his appearance. He moved along the tree line staying close to cover of the thick brambles. The young man notched an arrow in his bow and waited. As the buck drew closer the young man could see it’s breath in the cold air. For a split second they locked eyes as the arrow slipped from the bow. A single moment stretched into an eternity as the arrow struck its mark. The young man began to sing his song of thanks to his creator as he ceremoniously began to dress the animal for transport back to his village. Once more his canoe glides across the water and comes to a stop where his family greets him with joy and excitement for his success. This was his first solo hunt and he had proven himself to be worthy of their faith.

I hope you have enjoyed this little bit of fiction. Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.

Rose Hips & Winter

Color Photography, wildlife, winter

I awoke to a new world today. The first day of December arrived on time and covered my mountain with a blanket of fresh snow. “You need to get out with your camera.” My wife said gently as she began to give our dog his morning belly rub. Soon afterwards I found myself going up the mountain in my big blue truck. The fresh aroma of coffee wafting up from my thermos is all the more satisfying when the snow is blowing. I stopped by several different places to take pictures and eventually made my way to Muddlety Creek to visit the marsh. The songbirds were huddled in the thickets well protected from the icy dagger like wind sweeping across the open wetlands. The marsh is thick with the swamp rose which seems to not suffer from issues that domestic roses need constant defending from. The bright red hips are the perfect accent amid the tan snow covered reeds. I set the breaks on the big blue truck and roll the window down. The silence of the marsh brings an otherworldly feel to the scene as I snap the shutter. This day will become a snow globe in my lens and all that exists is the berries and myself.

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.
