This winter morning, the cold air made the mist rise from the sea. I've seen this small tree many times, but it always felt impossible to capture. It's beautiful yet so little. The steep ledge of rock it lives in is slippery, especially in winter. Light from the right side of the ridge created a beautiful foreground sight. As the gentle breeze made small waves in the water, it was a delightful moment.

Just like this tree, we can weather the storms of life and come out stronger on the other side. We may bend and sway, but we can endure and thrive as long as we hold fast to our roots and remain dedicated.
