The colors are so exquisite it seems nature couldn't possibly replicate something so perfect and yet, here it is.

Just amazing and gorgeous! My niece and nephew live near there and this was the first time their young children had seen snow. The kids loved it!

Thank you for sharing.

Gorgeous pic, @Kachina624

Thank you for sharing!

I can remember when a familiar group of us used to rent a beachfront cottage at Dewey/Rehoboth Beach, DE, yearly, sharing our "without-a-care" grateful Thanksgiving week/weekend together.

One such year, when walking barefoot, along the beach, deep in thought, I noticed Ocean Waves brush over my wet, sandy feet, & meet, touch, taunt, overwhelm, slowly capture, & even carry off segments of the strange, neighboring, errant banks of snow. I paused. This provided such a keen, deep, stark, provocative drama to me.

The snow was relentless, & stood her ground. But so too were the waves. Such a dramatic warring was washing over my bare feet. There was no escaping. I was swept into their war.

*pause*

Has something this metaphorical played out in our/your lives? (such as, absence of a Spring/Autumn, to help with possible transitioning to the many times, stark Winter/Summer)?

* Perhaps, Life, swept to death,

(without a sufficient healthy mourning)?

(btw, this often happened to many of us, our beloveds during COVID,

Myself included. - even with beloved pets - again, myself included)

- or -

* Crime/Bad Acts, rushed to words of apology,

(without the process of sincere repenting) ?

* Health, suddenly swept to incapacitated

ad infinitum.

My Beach experience taught me of the importance of that transitional Spring/Autumn in my life.

You?

@Kachina624 I see your awesomely beautiful pic as also a reminder of this profound wonderful, deeply, tactile memory I experienced & appreciate.

In your pic, even beyond its glorious allure, I see those shoe footprints in that transitional sand, between the warring Warm Summer Sand, & the Cold Winter Snow.

How many times, I wished to see my own shoes in those transitional footprints.

But then, I remember, there are indeed my footprints. Yet, sadly, they seems to disappear.

And I realize, that is my transitioning.

Rather than a sadness, I realized, their gradual disappearance is my merciful comforting. And, I'm grateful.

Thanks again, @Kachina624
