Pictures for Pam, Day 29: HFF! Leaf in Frosty Fence

(3 inset pictures) (please view against black to see the wonderful frosty details!)

This morning started with a truly stunning sunrise with lovely light and beautiful clouds in the sky. I took pictures with my phone a few minute apart and added them as notes so you can see too! (It turned out that today's sunset was just as spectacular so I included that picture too!) As I went on my walk today, I kept stopping and drinking in the lovely view. I reflected on the post I wrote about why we chose this place and reveled in our lucky find. It may be too hot during the summer but the rest of the year is so divine!

I am very touched by the response to my story yesterday and I wish that I could give all of you hugs. It has taken a very long time to come to terms with such terrible loss. It is frustrating that I can't really talk about this to most people. They understand that it's sad to lose trees, but unless you have a connection to nature, people just don't really get it. They immediately focus on the loss of our shop. I gave up trying to talk about how I really feel, until now. Thank you, everyone, for giving me a place to voice my pain and express my deep sorrow for the loss of the countless souls up on the hill. It means more than you can know. *many many hugs all around*

Today is Happy Fence Friday (btw it's 5:40pm here in Oregon!) and this gives me the opportunity to share one of the frost pictures I got a few days ago! I managed to get a whole bunch of winners but for today, I'm featuring a white Oak leaf that was caught in the mesh fencing around one of our gardens.

Pam, I hope you enjoy the sunrise and sunset pictures too…while I stood and stared at these wondrous sights, I thought about you and hoped that you are enjoying some lovely sunrises and sunsets too!
