i had forgotten...
but somewhere hidden in the recesses...
of my northern childhood memories...
lay dreams of this evening...
a landscape of hush...
only the wingsweep of bird...
& the crunch of snowpack under our feet...
awestruck wonder of a world painted white...
with marvelous chill to the bone...
warmed by steaming mug & cozy nighttime retreat under layers of warm quilt...
surrounded by drying winter-wear as snow spirals softly toward the still earth...
waking in the fourth watch of the night to landscape of celestial moonlight lingering on snowfall...
sweet season's offerings of pure delight.

I am a bit envious!
ok, so I just drooled over your stunning pics at least 20 times. So glad you remembered the wonder of "a world painted white". I think we can all use a landscape of hush, a steamy mug, and a warm quilt...
That's it! I'm getting in the car -- see you in about 6 hours. (Well... a girl can dream can't she?)
Seriously, we gotta plan that g/f weekend.
I love the pics, you make winter sound so good!
enjoy your winter!
Very beautiful...
Beautiful Deb. I expecially like the reference to 4th watch.

Oh whoa, those pictures are wonderful. Make winter seem less cold and depressing and such a beautiful time.
Very moving.
