Frozen

I woke up to a frozen world this morning.  Observing it from the warmth of my home was comforting and I said a quick prayer thanking the Lord for heat and electricity, warm clothes and blankets, food in my kitchen and the blessing that I have to stay home on days such as this.  I know there are many who are less fortunate.

With my down jacket zipped up and hood pulled tight over my ears, I headed out to brave the cold, just long enough to snap a few photos.  Today I was practicing with depth of field in aperture mode , homework for this weeks photography class.  

This tree seems to be thinking about blossoms, not ice storms.

But today spring seems far away.
