of sprigs and berries


The beginnings of the holiday season and the first snow seen in my travels. I loved how festive this topiary dog looked crowned with a sprig of holly. Below some red peeks out amid the spruce tips.

  5. You did a wonderful job of finding the subtle reds. No blaring in your face photos here. I especially enjoyed the second one, with its wind and twirl.

To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals--that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm & unspoiled when the world praises him.
