Picture Perfect Cooking

Even though it is Winter, there is still plenty of natural beauty if you just take the time to look for it.

The dried seed heads are almost as pretty as the fresh version and the birds love them.

Look at the new bud already forming right next to last years seed pod. I love the hope and renewal that spring brings after the cold dark winter.  Seeing this reminds me that everything is just taking a nice long nap, but there is still life flowing in those branches. 

Wild rose hips…

I even found a little bit of green in January. 

I love nature.  It always make me feel closer to God to stand out in the middle of His creations and just let His goodness and grace wash over me.
