Here we go again, folks!
TEN ON TEN: taking a photo an hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month, (hoping) to find the beauty in our everyday lives.
Please check this month's other participants HERE...you'll be glad you did. :)
Day 11:
I am thankful today for my favorite tree. You see that tree up there? In photo #4? That's my favorite tree. I live on a flat, mostly treeless plain. It has its own desolate beauty, and you sure can't find a prettier sunset in all of Texas (maybe even the world), but there's just not a lot of trees. But there's this big, beautiful mammoth of a tree at the end of my very favorite road. (You can read about that HERE.) Most of the year, it's just a big tree. Nice enough, but not too special. But then, usually around mid-November, it turns into something amazing. I'm always watching it this time of year...waiting on its brilliant change. The color saturation seems to take forever. A few leaves here. A few more there. But then one day, I turn the corner, and *BAM* it takes my breath away. It's just that spectacular. I'm sure this tree serves a greater purpose. God designed the whole world to work on a level we cannot even begin to fathom, but on that very first day of my very favorite tree's brilliance, I know that God believes in beauty. He created it to bring us joy. My favorite tree is a breathtaking example of just that.
