sunshine shimmers on blue frosted day trees draped in white finery crystalline in beauty prisms of colors dance in scattered steps across blankets sewn of sequins enveloping the landscape an ice cold chill stills the air kissing the skin in a glacial greeting stinging the cheeks rosy red blushing with the conceit of visions most fair crisp and unflinching Winter struts and flaunts her pale white worn loveliness pure as a virgin before known to man seductive in her invitation to experience her embrace and inhale the breath of her to imbibe of her bittersweet allure s.a.t. Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Where are my overcoat and gloves? Sheesh, will it be cold in the morn? Excellent visions you have captured of a season which brings to a standstill the greenery, letting the greys overwhelm as whites cover the landscapes... I knew there was a reason I lived south of the Mason-Dixon line.... But....am I missing something? |

Thank you all for your replies. One of my favorite things to do in winter on the moutain was to snowmobile up to the state land atop the mountain where the snow was virgin and the beauty almost indescribable. And on those days when the hoar frost rose, it was as if diamonds were scattered about reflecting amazing rainbows across the land. Incredible. I was revsiting these memories when I wrote this. And Barry, though I too am not into cold weather, I've seen few sights in this world that can compare to virgin snow beneath frosty blue sky in the wilderness -- I am so pleased you all enjoyed my reminicing.
