Beautiful (17/365)

A view from our front door yesterday afternoon: 

Having lived in Grand Rapids for a year and a half, I started to enjoy the beauty of winter. In spite of the bitter cold temperatures and limited outdoor access, I've come to appreciate the hidden loveliness of delicate snowflakes enveloping the bare tree branches, fresh snow blankets covering the ground, rare winter sunshine peeking in the morning...

Although yes...I'm still longing for spring, but there's something about winter here that tells you to slow down, to enjoy home, to notice and appreciate the nature cycle of life around you.
