Nature by Contrasts…...

We spent last week in the Smokies and what a week it was!  We were enveloped in the contrast of nature.  We went from glorious sunshine and Autumn changing leaves to a winter storm.  I was able to check off a hope on my bucket list.  To be in the mountains during a winter storm and be able to capture it in images.  The most amazing treat to the senses was the quiet…with the blank of snow, the only sound heard was the rushing stream.

I am burnt out on winter.  Or at least I was until tonight.  On the way home, I took a detour down Denzer road.  We have some land for sale on this 2 mile long stretch of road in the county.  As I passed by one of my favorite views, I paused for a look.

I grabbed the camera and walked across the open field to where I could get an unobstructed view and the peacefulness of it all with the quiet winter night closing fast helped make this unending polar vortex of a season seem a bit better.  With a view like this, old man winter can stick around a while yet.
