Sharing some pics of our long, dark winter (+ 2 Christmas pics, #13)

It's not depressing, they're lovely! I think we Northerners have a better appreciation for the nuances of silver ad grey in a winter landscape than others!

What beautiful photographs, Kirsten.. Thank you!

Depressing weather can make for some stunning art.

A snowcovered lane
Lined with trees
Whose overarching branches
Form a lacy canopy of black and white
Beckons and forbids the viewer all at once
Would you be the one
Who dares mark the spotless blanket of snow
With your pedestrian tracks
Or will you, like we
Simply stare, longingly and wonder
What mysteries await
At the turn of the expanse
At the end of the arched path?

Karen, what a beautiful poem! Who's the author?

Wombat, it's not only looking cold, it was cold! So cold that my face was frozen and I could barely talk (which was probably a good thing...)! lol

Anyone of those pictures would be worthy of framing and hanging on the wall.. Awesome job again Kirsten! I LOVE your pictures!

I just wrote that myself, looking at the photo.
