As days grow colder, the trees gradually drop the gaudy garlands of leaves masking their true strength and beauty. Even so do we, as adversity’s chilling winds efface the sunshine in our lives, drop our masks, revealing our inner nakedness and humility. Others watching marvel, overwhelmed by our true beauty. As distresses fall, like freezing snow, upon our boughs we become ever more beautiful to the beholding eye. Old dead branches fall away and our inner soul is strengthened.
When life freezes over.

Nice specimen, capture and thoughts relating trees and life!
Thankyou Denise, though it’s not one of my photos. It was cold and rainy so I opted for a free bing photo rather than brave the elements to go capture my own to go with the text (though the trees around were definitely the inspiration). Thanks for dropping by!
