Seeing The New ~




(click to enlarge)
"If you think you're seeing
 the same show all over again
 seven times a week, you're crazy.
 Every morning you wake up to something
 that in all eternity never was before
 and never will be again.
 And the you that wakes up was
 never the same before
 and will never be
 the same again either."
 Frederick Buechner

"But life is worthwhile, and
 living it well and honorably is worthwhile. "

 A most blessed
and
Happy New Year

I love this quote, Susan...and the birds feeding in the snow is glorious! Got me and my hubby a bird feeder for Christmas and put it up this weekend. Squirrels have already taken over but a few little birdies just like those in your post have been eating too! I love watching them...and like the quote says, every show is different! I pray that 2014 brings any blessings!

Lucille said...

That bird sequence takes my breath away. I am right there with you as you witness this and capture it so beautifully. The first quote has left me pondering and I appreciate that so… A Happy and Blessed New Year to you Susan!

caryjo said...

Loved the photos, of course. Always try to get piles of them taken, but don't do as beautifully as you do. You have a real God-gift to share, around-and- about the world.

Beautiful captures of the sweet birds in the snow - just beautiful! and that verse... so amazing.

A lovely pairing of exquisite photos and words. Something to carry with me in to the new year. I love the way images create pathways for words and words illuminate the images.
