October Snow

 

Just when I had resigned myself to the fact that the dying leaves were just going to get uglier, four inches of snow created contrasts that took my breath away with their beauty. A fierce wind the night before last blew snow up against the north-west side of all the tree trunks. These straight streaks of white made the fading gold and rust and green and red stand out in a new display.
Just when we think our lives are simply going to get uglier and more desperate, some grace breaks through and transforms what looked like dying into joy and new life.
