Frosty morning at the Woods
We’ve had some beautiful frosty mornings lately at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. Enjoy the view. It’s always a good time for a visit to these sacred Woods!






















Magnificent photos, Amy. So easy to take our beauty for granted until someone like you gives us a visual reminder. Thank you.
Beautiful. I would have loved to have been there taking pictures with you.
As Sister Joseph Eleanor (RIP) wrote in her poem A Queen’s Domain “In any vesture it is beautiful.”
A camera is one thing. In the hands of Amy Maranda it is something else!
Aww, thanks Jane!
Up so early to get the great shots!
Thanks Amy.
Our Woods is beautiful any and at all times.
Come and see for yourself!
