First Snow

We've gone from brilliant fall color to elegantly silhouetted bare branches. Gradually dropping temperatures and cloudy skies have signaled eminent snowfall. And then it began. Our first snow of the season. I ran outside with the camera. Falling snow is difficult to capture with still shots, but here it is. Look real close and you'll see snow settling on the back of our truck. Maybe if you squint real hard you can see the flakes falling from the sky. At least in you imagination. It always takes my breath away. Martin says, "Wait til February. See if you still feel the magic."

I ran across something while reading the book of Daniel in the Bible the other day. The three guys that had been thrown into the fiery furnace, together sang, glorifying and blessing God (read all of Chapter 3 for the whole story!). In verse 70 they sang, "Ice and snow, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever." Somehow, that describes how the falling snow makes me feel.
