Sorry to miss you last week. I lost my voice and energy courtesy of a health malady that kept me close to the couch . During my seclusion I was blessed by a 20 inch snowfall that blanketed my urban neighborhood and gave the city a long winter’s nap. I can’t remember a time when my main focus was getting well and not much else. I canceled all commitments and was amazed how liberating it all was despite being ill.
The day that I got sick a friend had blessed me with the gift of a long phone call; during the week e-mails arrived from people I had met while traveling and working at Habitat for Humanity; phone calls came from family and friends; chicken soup and prayers were offered; in short, I was well cared for and loved in numerous ways.
Today’s image is a photograph of a glass partition in a restaurant that has been around for many years overlooking the Denver area. It somehow reminds me of what I re-discovered this week. Even though we can’t see clearly what lies beyond the glass, there are beautiful “drops” of love that we receive and can give in “the present” that can change a life.

Great description of last week’s snowstorm. Which restaurant has this glass hanging? Hope you are back to good health!

One of my favorite things to photograph is textures. This week’s photo of the colored drops on glass is beautiful and shows what an eye you have for things that other people might miss. Sorry to hear you were sick, but looking forward to more photos and entries in the weeks to come!

Ingrid- I hope the nanobugs that attacked you last week have been totally destroyed or controlled by your immune system and you are enjoying this week fully. Thank God for our amazing bodies, huh? I like to see the components of our immune system in that photo – antibodies, white blood cells, ….
Love it. Sorry you were sick. Hope u are feeling better!!!
Hi, Ingrid. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photography. Hope you are totally recovered — it’s true, God does use illness to give us insight. I’m currently in NE with my mom who a couple of hours in a chair each day, but the rest of the time in bed. It’s a learning for me..
I love this picture but then I still collect marbles and this reminds me of them. Glad you were sick on a snow day and can now play when it’s better weather. Hope you are healed completely and will send some good snow pictures. Blessings to you! xoxo
