Photo Challenge--Changing Seasons

It's time for the Brenda's Photo Challenge again! Thanks to Amanda of Penny N Pounds for hosting this challenge theme. So here are my entries for "Changing Seasons."

FALL--Took this picture on a fall trip to Arkansas a few years back.

WINTER--Took this picture this last February outside my office after a snow/ice storm. Went to work and the trees were so sparkly, I just had to go outside with my camera and take some pictures!!

SPRING--These flowers come up in my yard in late February or early March and seem to be the very first sign of spring each year. I took this particular picture during a dark time in our family. We were facing some heavy challenges as a family and one day I noticed the beautiful flowers blooming when all else seemed dead. I often refer to that February as the "month I cried." At the time, I felt like God sent those flowers to give me hope that things would improve. This picture reminds me of God's presence and hope for brighter days no matter what the struggle of the day may be.

SUMMER--Our backyard garden!

Be sure to check out the other participants' pictures by going to the Brenda's Photo Challenge Blog.

I'll be around to see everyone's pictures later tonight. Have a great Saturday!!
