She bows her head in submission
to her inevitable fate as winter finally
arrives.
I hope she knows I still see beauty and grace in her old age.
It is a blessing to see the beauty in nature
in all seasons of life and death.
This was shot out of my bedroom window yesterday,
documenting the
first snowfall of the season
at our northern Utah home.

That is so beautiful.I am waiting for that first snowfall that will actually cover the ground.
At least the snowfall there is appropriate with the Calendar. Here it's still warm in the day! :) That's a wonderful shot.
The cycle of life. A beautiful capture, Karen.
I love the snow.
What a poignant photo, Karen.
Stunning image!
Karen, simply beautiful! We haven't had any snow yet, but we're in the middle of our second major storm on the coast. Lots of wind and lots & lots of rain!
Beautifully shot, Karen!
Wonderful image! And I'm jealous you're getting snow.
Good to see some snow. I find it uplifting though the tree doesn't.
PS. I meant sunflower.
Ouch! I was not prepared for a picture with snow that early in November! ;-) But I like your idea to combine the end-of-season sunflower with the first harbingers of winter.
On the other hand: the month of November is commonly a gray, dull and wet part of the year with lot of fog or rain. But November 2015 in stark contrast a month with unusual high temperatures, blue sky and a lot of sunshine. So currently our winter seems to be still far away in our minds - now with your photo it approached much closer!
Uwe.
Indeed it is snowing where you live! We are having a wild rain here but it's hard to capture a photo of a raindrop.
Best,
Bonnie
A lovely prose for a lovely photo. We can always find beauty in everything when our consciousness is filled with it. It seems like your winter is earlier than those in other countries. Ours is also very much affected by El Nino and climate change.
I guess I should bow to old age and winter more gracefully too. Such simple beauty right outside your window!
There is something incredibly endearing about a spent sunflower and you captured that vulnerability so beautifully. The snow only makes it more wonderful.
An emotive shot. It makes me feel cold and sad but then I look out my window and see sunny, blue sky and a garden full of fun.
what a wow shot.. it is eye catching. So I can see why you are using it to document the first snow.. Great job!
Hugs
Karen, This seems late for your first snowfall. I can no longer see my flowers' bowed heads!
I just love this photo. I've clicked on this post several times just to stare at it. Thanks.
