Lots of us here in the Northeast, at least Taxachusetts particularly and where I live, got hit by an ice storm which downed the trees and electric lines. I am fortunate enough to have gotten my electricity back late yesterday but my boy's home will be down for about 4 days.
The silver lining is that they are in and out of my home a lot more now as I have heat, running water, TV and computer access. I am blessed that my life is here and available for them whenever they need me. We had us all a "pajama-type" party last night. I have often thought of relocating because I don't like the cold here, but then . . . I would miss my boys too much.
At any rate, yesterday I had such a great hour or so walking in the woods and taking pictures of another "silver lining," God's majestic landscape and thought I share some of my favorites with you, especially you southerners and west coaster (oh yeah and our Hawaiian friends too ). Notice the thickness of ice, approximately 3/4 inch.
There's something very cathartic for me to be behind the lens of a camera.
M123, I am an artist and a photographer and I am SO GLAD you posted these lovely images! Thank you so much! You are really good! Keep shooting and keep the catharsis going- its a real gift you have. Hugs, J.
I am sooooo glad that you can see the "Silver lining" in that situation. Your pictures are absolutely beautiful and I know for a fact if you ever want to see God.........it's outside that you'll see Him clearer than anywhere.

Awesome pixs. We had snow too but no ice like in the east. How do you walk on ice? This program has taught me to accept what is. There is always a silver lining or a lesson. Hard to learn your lesson tho.
How beautiful. I tend to be on the gloom and doom side myself. I know the more I move out of depression the more I get to the point of wanting to live.
