Here on the big lake we hear the cracking open of milkweed pods, the ticking steps of a freezing harbor and creaking tree boughs bending beneath weighty crystals. Children dread the back-to-school months after the holidays, but today’s icy possibilities await. Go outside and photograph the white-out glaze of frozen fog on barren branches, holy reminders of how God transforms everything and makes it new – even the sleepiest of barren trees.
