Winter Wonderland Series

Hydrangea in Frost
There are some things you learn best in calm,
and some in storm.
~Willa Cather
I've shown these hydrangeas in various stages....
perfection in the summer
rustling in the fall
and now....stilled by winter
They are magnificent flowers that can teach so much
about the changes we go through...{{often so quickly}}...
and how to keep our beauty and hope no matter what stage
we find ourselves.
I hope that you have a wonderful and blessed new year
and resolve to be better~
in whatever you are striving.

What a beautiful photograph! And I love the quotation by Willa Cather. So true.
THis post is amazing.The picture is beautiful.
Thank-you for the encouragement to keep our beauty and hope in all stages of life.
These have all been beautiful, but this is my favorite. What an inspiring thought to keep striving for the beauty of Christ to shine through the darkness of our days to others no matter what storms we are suffering through. I love you sweet sister.

Silent beauty, there's nothing like it in the whole wide world. Thank you for the links, I went back and traveled through the seasons with your hydrangeas, beautiful! As are you.
You make them look so beautiful & I especially like the Coneflower in Frost image below... I love the bokeh! =)
What a beautiful stage you've shared with us.
Oh so beautiful. I will think of this beautiful quote now whenever frost leaves beautiful pictures on my window panes. Many prayers for sweet Shauna, Happy New Year sweetie to you and your family...Hugs
Beautifully said! I am wishing you and yours a very blessed and Happy New Year!
It never seems to amaze me that these are so lovely both when they are in bloom, and long after. You have captured this beautifully.

Happy New Year Chasity! I hope it is filled with blessing and miracles!
Thinking of you! and your family!
Beautiful, and I hope your 2011 is full of joy and a miracle or two.
Hi Chas - I'm back from all the family visits over Christmas. Just spent some time going through your posts and looking at all your wonderful photos - your series is just beautiful.
What was even more beautiful was reading the news about Shauna - although your post had me expecting bad news at the start. So encouraging to hear that, and what a blessing she was able to be home for Christmas !
I pray that 2011 will bring the healing you all so desire ! God continue to bless all of you.
Beautiufl .I love this Chas Blessings to you in the new year~
Most beautiful in the winter - I think! Wishing you and yours all the best. Happy New Year!!!
Hey Chas, how's the weather over there? We've had tornado warnings & a few on the ground over here, but I haven't heard the extent of the damage yet... are ya'll ok?
That Willa Cather quote is perfect, Chas, as is your photograph. Lovely!
Happy New Year, my friend...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Even crusted with frost, hydrangeas are so lovely! Wishing you a blessed & happy 2011:)
Lovely details of the frost. And wonderful tones too.
It looks like it's covered with sugar. Incredible.
Nice and restrained, with just the outline of rime.
beautiful pic...ice looks like sugar granules!
Hi Chas,
I'm sorry I haven't stopped by in such a long time. You have been posting some beautiful images - this one is just stunning.
I had no idea about what your family is dealing with right now. I send all positive thoughts your way and hope that 2011 is filled with abundant blessings. – g
Loving the frost photos!
