Frost Etchings

turquoiseMorning sun slants across the wall.I slow down enough to notice.Intricate frost etchings — up high in the top pane — overlay the simplistic, monochromatic modern art.Soft shadows soothe.Frost feathers the window pane. Delicate wisps and swirls delight.feathery-windowHow odd that the best views were found in the bathroom.None of the other windows or walls in the house offered the same soft touches of winter beauty.What have you seen today?

    Collectible plates got their start in Denmark, and the very first one–about 100 years ago–was a blue and white beauty from Bing and Grondahl called ‘Behind the frozen window’ and it looked a lot like yours!!

    I looked out the window and thought I saw a scrap of paper wafting down through the air. Then I saw another… and another. They were snow flakes the size of half dollar coins falling very intermittently. I wondered it they, in their super size, were as unique as they say each snowflake is, or were they a cluster of flakes?

    The design in nature has always captured my imagination–making me wonder about God the master designer and how science and art are intertwined.

    Thanks for the reminder, Ann.
