I’ve always found this old oak tree to be so beautiful, and the way the sun was shining through it on Sunday was simply perfect.

Since this past weekend was the first significant snowfall of the year,
I figured I should go out and get some pictures, since snow is such a beautiful thing.

These first few photos were taken at my church.

After church on Sunday, I wandered around with my trusty Kodak and took a few photos.

That tree you see on the left has been my favorite tree for as long as I can remember.
I can recall many times when I was younger, climbing up and sitting on that
long, curved branch to read a book or just think about things.
A couple friends of mine like to climb much higher,
but I’ve never been that adventurous.

This bench sits in front of the church in what we call our "Prayer Garden," which is a nice place for peaceful contemplation.

As I was walking around looking for unique photo opportunities, my friend Zach pointed out a couple of tiny icicles on the bottom of the stair-railing to our sanctuary.

These next few photos were taken around my house.

Foot pictures have always amused me, so I decided to take one of my own. I crouched down in the snow and turned my camera around to capture my nice, cozy snow boots.

It had been awhile since I'd taken a good, non-goofy photo of myself, so I decided that was as good a time as any.

I also really love the way the sun was shining on my hair.

Here's the mouth of the trail that I've travelled many times in my short life. Not many people know about it, but it's quite a wonderful place to spend some quality time with nature.

My nice, warm house that I headed back to soon after this picture was taken. It was a little chilly outside.

And what's a group of snow pictures without one of footprints?
