I really like how the sun is shining on the tops of the trees but the rest are silhouetted. Sun gives water shimmering effect. Mountains in background really balance photo. Excellent post Pam and I'm glad you looked in your archives.
Ah yes, a friend who is denial, just like me. I keep finding my shots from the summer and fall more appealing than going outside to face the cold! I'm sure you have it even worse than I.
Lovely upload here, and I think that Tick summed it up pretty well.
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
