When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.
- John Muir
09-10 has been the cloudiest winter on record for North Texas and I'm sure Arkansas hasn't been much different. These wet days with low clouds and thick air have become all too familiar, but they are beautiful in their own way. In the case of this photo it does highlight how everything is connected. There's no separation between the atmosphere and the Earth and the things that live on it.

I love shots with fog...it adds that little extra bit of mood to a photo

Am loving these moody images. Something so very soft about the grey-ness!!!

I think I can trace the line of a stream meandering across the right background and then the foreground before exiting on the left? Looks like early spring in Maine.

Another serene winter's scene.And that John Muir guy might have been on to something (everything)...

A fine landscape that does give us a definite feel for the atmosphere of the day. I like the pond with the stark looking tree nearby. Fine shot.

I see what you mean by "they're all connected". I couldn't see one without the other. They're different, yet the same. We've had ridiculous amounts of snow, too. Having a snow day at school is amazing though. :)

Love the quote. So simple and so true. Nothing is separated from attachment to something else. Beautiful tranquil image.

Frida on 9th February 2010 @ 4:20pm

Love the feel of cold in this frame and that touch of snow on the ground. It seems that the entire world got snow, everyone but us :/

This is a scene that could be in Texas.
