A Frozen Beauty.

Being in a hot country, I love the snow.I came across this picture in a forward.Nature looks still and glazed when it is covered by snow.When it is hot,nature looks alive with green branches and sometimes brown branches shedding yellowing leaves.My backyard has four eucaliptus trees and it has started shedding leaves and it is making me work daily cleaning the yard.But I love the smell it emnates when being swished about.So I am not angry at all having this extra work as bonus for those trees.

My previous house had trees in front on the sides of the street.There too though beautiful, it always was extra work.But they too looked beautiful as it laid during flowering time in April and October yellow blossoms, that will look as though the street is laid with carpet.Again a bonus to the eyes though work to the hands when clearing the front side of the compound wall.

Life is like that.It comes with its misries but a bonus is there in those miseries.You look at the beautiful side and then take the misery.Perhaps I must say, the bonus was in the beauty and not in the aftermath of the beauty.

Jayamala.
