Winter Reflection

This beloved photo was shot by a dear friend of Kate, back in their college days. Please view his epic work @www.dscottclarkphoto.com.  Aside from being brilliant, Scott captured Kate in her element with this photo.  She loves Winter and she loves snow.  This is a beautiful glimpse of her in her Winter world. Kate has always appreciated the colors of Winter time. Stark white, grays, blues, and black are seen in it's unique light that Winter reveals. She sees the elegance of the trees contrasted against the shadows and sky. Most people distain this time of year. It seems purposeless and dismal at best. The cold brings a slowing to life and we all settle into a time of dormancy. I think it is a great time for needed rest, whether we want it or not. The cold reminds us of life's circle... at least here in the Midwest. If we could all approach Winter like Kate, we might accept and maybe even embrace it's special gifts.
