Well the holiday season is just about over, and I hope yours was filled with joy and contentment. I took the above photo this morning; I love the interplay between the sun, clouds, and water. Empty cloud ‘holes’ allowing the sun’s beams to permeate onto the lake’s surface below. Once again I am reminded of the connected(ness) between all things.
I am looking forward to 2017; I’ll most definitely be keeping a watchful eye for the ‘connections’ that are always right in front of us. I hope that makes sense! 🙂
