Nature

A dusting of snow: LAPC & SC

A dusting of snow accentuates
sculptures created by the wind

And softens rough edges
of twisting structures

A dusting of snow
muffles the calls of nature

And softens footfalls
while drawing our eyes to the skies

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge (LAPC) – Bringing softness

Sunday Confessionals (SC) – Notice of Nature

SoyBend

Centered in Bend, Oregon, my blog branches out into nature, history, and art-related topics.
