The dark skies and heavy clouds were, just moments before, a solid sea of churning atmosphere. The rain was pelting the windshield. Without letting the viewer see, those same clouds were silently laying a blanket of snow over the green pine forests above me.
Then as if a giant wand passed over the world, those same clouds opened.They relaxed their hold on the earth and as if to show off their work,and allowed the mountains to see the sky. At the same time, my truck came to a stop to view this perfection the rain caused.
Nature was showing off her makeover. She was smiling and allowing the world to revel in the intense handiwork she had completed. I stared. I searched the wall of the mountain for a small part that was not perfect; it did not exist. The beauty that nature created was perfect.
As I drove away, those clouds closed back on the mountain and the rain again covered the truck.
Awesome moments in time..dennis
The End...
The seasons come and go as the months turn from spring into fall.
The fresh buds of spring have turned into the verdant green of early summer and then to the vibrant colors of fall.
The final bit of life energy is transferred from these leaves into the host tree that they have shared for all of these months.
They gave their all and now the time has come.
The end of life so the tree may live on.
This is the way of nature.
The way of life.
The life as it is intended to be....dennis
