Maybe it's the location. We moved from the city to "the country" and I have a view of Lake Simcoe that is amazing. It's always amazing.
In the summer, well of course it's beautiful! Blue sky, water, sailboats, late night fires. It's beautiful.
In the winter, when the Lake freezes, it's equally as interesting. Sometimes the sunrise reflects on the ice and there's beauty in that. Blue skies, cloudy skies, even the blizzards are beautiful to watch - from inside. With the leafless trees, I can see the sunrise through the branches. As the ice thickens, we take walks on the Lake, albeit cold, but fresh and inspiring.
Spring - the rebirth. The leafs takeover some of the view, but the sunrise moves a bit north where it's still visible. Morning mist rolls over the water. The ground is still wet but flowers bloom. The dock is installed bringing our view of the lake even closer. The patio chairs hit the patio.
Autumn. It used to be depressing with the shirtless summers gone and the asthmatic cold, threatening. But a few years ago I began to love Fall. Love the colours and even celebrate the change. I know winter is coming, but now I look forward to the frozen lake and the daily picturesque view. And, miraculously, the asthma I struggled with for 50 years, vanished.
It's too bad it's taken so long to appreciate all the seasons. There's something beautiful in all of them.
Wonderful blog Scott. Just another reminder of how awesome and glorious our creator is. He is always around us, showing us new and amazing views of His creation. Ain't He great. We just need to look to see Him in everything.
