Here's how Jeannie Runty, the photographer, describes this winter scene:
This is looking out my kitchen window in Skyline Ranches, Elkhorn Neb. We've lived here 30 years. We raised our children in this kitchen and now have 5 grandchildren age 6 and under crawling around here. Most days I sit at my desk, and watch the seasons float by, with all their lovely colors!!!!!!! Very blessed to enjoy God's handywork all around us!!!!!!
