perception........

"It's all in your perception Anne Marie" my dear Hungarian Grandfather once told me.......
what do you see in these first pictures.................

sometimes we perceive things differently when we get the chance to open our eyes.....

sometimes they are rather obvious........

and other times, when you strip an image of it's natural beauty, all you see are the wrinkles that you can't tell if it's new or old..........



All the photographs taken were on the farm very early yesterday morning..........


with a heavy frosty haze that blanketed the ground........as it lifted itself away from the warming sun of only 5* below zero, it left behind the most spectacular light frost.......


like God Himself breathed His blessed spirit of purity onto the farm.......



~what you think you see, is not oftentimes what it really is~





the sands of time slip so very quickly, and are in constant motion, that if you don't take note of what you really see now, then you will miss that joy......




the pure joy of life

  8. It's so important to stop and see the beauty...we had that lovely frost here as well. I only saw it briefly on our way to church and it was gone by the time we got home. Glad you captured it, and so beautifully!
