I had to drive up to Timberline Lodge to take care of some equipment we have there and once I got to Government Camp it was a winter wonderland! It's so fun going from 43 degrees and raining to 23 degrees and snowing like a mad man! All within a matter of 30 minutes. Did I say that I love Oregon? I really do. I think we have some of the most beautiful country in the world.
As I was driving up and admiring the beauty of how the snow collects on the tree branches. I was thinking, "They don't look cold," they actually look warm under their thick white furry coats.
Then the clouds cleared for a bit and revealed the mountain. I had to stop my truck and just stare at it for a minute. There was nothing to say, nothing I could add, it was a perfect work of art. If I were the greatest painter in the world I couldn't create anything that would come close to being that beautiful!
It made me think about Art and Artists. We have some really good ones in our family. I realized this world wouldn't have art or the creative abilities of our artists if it wasn't for the Master Artist. We are Fashioned, Crafted, Created and Artistically made in His image. Did you know you're a piece of art? I've had people call me a piece of work....hmmm... maybe that's what they meant!?
Anyway, it made me smile as I drove away watching the living painting of Mt. Hood getting smaller and smaller in my rear view mirror.
