White Oak Leaf On Ice

January 5, 2025

Wander and find the amazing world of Mother Nature’s art. It’s everywhere. Go out. Don’t have a goal in mind. Don’t think of miles you are going to hike. Just walk and look closely at the little things. Is that a purple mushroom? What is that pattern in the tree bark? Look at the texture of that rock.

Mother Nature is a marvelous artist. Take your time. Find what she has created.

Here, one of her compositions. White Oak leaf (Quercus alba) on a rippled sheet of ice.

    1. Merry! Thanks bunches for your kind comments. So glad you like the picture. Seems I throughly enjoy doing my posts. I just schedule them ahead of time if I’m going to be tied up for some special occasion – like little Granddaughter performing at the ballet, or getting to see their new, tiny kittens!
      Sending many hugs your way!
