I took this photo a few days ago. It seems strange to see a lovely rose juxtaposed against the wintry sky and bare tree in the background.
And I'm reminded of this verse:
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat, summer and winter,
day and night will never cease.
- Genesis 8:22
