Nature provides beyond belief Icy snow sculptures; carved by the wind Reflections off the waves of the inland sea Sunshine streaming on the green limbs of the pines Lichen scream out an amazing lime-yellow light Except for the water, everything is still The road winds through the woods Dunes and streams are visible The two lane drive is narrow Snow drifts shrink its width Care is needed on the snowy-ice path Slowing down is automatic Here the sun filters through the trees Shadows create more beauty Glimpses of the lake inspire Clouds provide the in and out light But we must keep our eyes on the road We take much for granted Culverts withstand the weight of trucks Water flows through them I think of blood streaming through the body Life depends on this activity The lake needs its source The streaming creeks provide it The water is clear, but looks dark It reflects shrubs and trees It takes your breath away Deer cross the road ahead of you They make their way through deep snow Are captured in photos when possible The falling sun beautifies the sky and clouds It is a resurrection prelude and humbling How does this magnificence continue? How lucky are we to be able to observe Photos will be our testimony We will attempt to give witness Stanski March 2, 2020 ^
