'Hope' for Snow


'Hope' for Snow

unforeseen delight
the anticipation builds
wayward reverie



I didn't want to choose just any word for the Shutter Sisters' One Word Project.
I couldn't even determine if I would participate due to the fact that I couldn't commit to a word.
I wanted to all-of-a-sudden have an ah-ha! moment that would
signal a correlation between my heart, mind, and eye.
Like a ton of bricks, it HIT me.....the perfect word.

H O P E

If there is anything I am putting all my faith into, it is H O P E.
H O P E for me, you, us, we, them, everyone...
the future...but more importantly...
S N O W!

  1. I have lost myself in thought so much, at times I forget that I am lost ... I love snow, but these bones are to old to adapt -- living in warm weather so long.

  2. Really outstanding image. The red against the mostly monochromatic background and foreground really pops.

  5. I love this shot for hope.
    The (rare) heavy snowfall we had in this valley in Oregon last December and into the new year was so beautiful that I haven't been able to let go of it. Your post made me realize that I haven't let go of HOPE for just one more blanket of snow this winter.

  15. Another great capture! I'll be happy to send some of our snow your way, but it has pretty much thawed and refrozen into ice. I don't think you want any of that.

    Oh and I tagged you in a sixth of the sixth meme on my site. Hope you can play along!
