The dramatic beauty of the sea, the pure joy of watching koi just meandering about, a crane’s elegant walk, a splash of color in the form of a plant, the rich texture of bamboo, the stark limbs of California oaks, or the expanse of a wheat field. What a beautiful world.

I have always thought, that bamboo exemplifies texture. In this image, I purposely focused on creating a black & white high key photo.
Snow Bamboo
Today is the 3. Advent (represented by the candle of joy), a symbol of Christ’s coming birth. In our technology culture so easy to ignore, missing what truly matters.
Having grown up in a four season country, I always equate Christmas with snow. One year when I was in Germany briefly during the winter, I saw this beautiful sight: Bamboo covered with snow. It was a paradox to me, as I equated bamboo with the warm weather in California. To see fresh green in snow, was just a delight. May you have time for Christ, and the beauty all around us this season.
