All the trees are dusted
Sugared, crisp and white.
Fence posts look like snow cones;
Candy lane delight!
Sugared, crisp and white.
Fence posts look like snow cones;
Candy lane delight!
Dazzling ‘sicles dangle!
Every child’s temptation!
Who of us has never tried
Wonderland’s creations?
Crystal roses on the windows
Sparkling, gleaming, purest joy!
One warm breath; they disappear!
Enchanting every girl and boy!
Forts of snow with ammunition!
How the memories remain!
Lying down to make snow-angels.
Could I live it once again?
Sparkling, gleaming, purest joy!
One warm breath; they disappear!
Enchanting every girl and boy!
Forts of snow with ammunition!
How the memories remain!
Lying down to make snow-angels.
Could I live it once again?
Oh, that chisel of the north wind
Carves artistic frozen snowscapes
Razor sharp its curved edges
Cut across the silent lakes.
Cold and hard like diamonds
Glistening in the brilliant sun!
Winter days! Impressive! Splendid!
But this cold is no more fun.

But wait...it is still winter over there??? :o
Yup! It snowed all day today!
I love how beautiful winter always looks. So pure. :) Summer and fall are great with their colours, but winter photos are special. :)
Beautiful poem to go with beautiful pictures! Really enjoyed both!

I love these pictures and I appreciate your positive attitude toward winter. It's a necessary season, isn't it.
Enjoyed the pictures along with this one.
