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

[Karen]

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?

Wonderful pics Kirsten (as usual).
But it looks kinda cold.

Gld you like them, thank you!

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!

Black & White photos are incredible! I am more drawn to b/w than color when it comes to photography. Great pictures, Kirsten. I love your work.

Amazing pictures again Kirsten. Wish I had your talent with a camera. Looking at that snow made me feel the cold and dampness.

I hope the new year will see you feeling much better than last year.

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

I just wrote that myself, looking at the photo.

Oh Karen, that is wonderful! What a talented poet you are! And I'm feeling honored that my picture inspired you to write these beautiful lines...

And here are two pics I took of my hometown on Christmas:

I could probably write something for every photo you take - were we closer, we'd have to collaborate on a gallery show together! Hey, maybe we should anyway!
