The Beauty Within

If you have been wondering where I have been the past few months, well, you're looking at me minus the white hair and mustache. Overtired, mug in hand and trying to get through another busy day.

With so much going on, I had to put blogging on the backburner. I was almost at the point of completely stepping away but couldn't completely shut the door yet. Or in blogging terms, close the laptop.

I may not have the time or drive to blog like I once did, but occasionally I get the itch and it leads to a post like todays. 

Though today's post doesn't involve any cards. It's more like Pictures Over Coffee.

The pictures though I found post-worthy.

We had a big-flake snowstorm about a month ago and I went out to take a few pictures in-between errands.

This will be a lilac tree once spring begins. There is nothing like the fresh smell of lilacs.

This isn't one that Charlie Brown would pick out.

Trees across the road from my house.

And I mentioned earlier how these were big flakes, for the first time ever, I was actually able to capture some of the snowflakes up close.

And this was my favorite one. Look at the intricate detail.

I may be annoyed by winter, except around Christmas, but there is some beauty to be found in it. Even though we were getting close to spring feelings here and we are expecting a 8+ inch storm for Thursday. 

So, I compare this to blogging as well. I can get annoyed by how blogger can operate sometimes, the pain of uploading pictures, the time that can be consumed, but yet there is beauty to be found in sharing your hobby with others in written form.

I hope all of you have a great Tuesday and hopefully no snow is heading your way.
