The Peephole

It’s Christmas Eve, and there’s much to do! I gaze at the American Beech leaves. Their marcescence or “hanging on” strikes me. It’s Advent; and I’m hanging on, too — hanging on to the promise of a Savior. I see the peephole, light shining in from Heaven. Through the withered. Through the weary. Suddenly, all is calm. And all is bright!

I like your comparison - the 50mm lens is producing some interesting shots. Like the softness here. Merry Christmas Eve.
