Winter Wonders
We have been talking about the effect of nature on our minds and bodies. In particular, the fact that feeling a oneness with nature gives us an inner peace and celebrates our connection with the natural world.
This photo struck me with such a feeling of beauty and peace. So rich are the colors, with sunbeams dancing off the tree branches and the fluffy snow. You can almost feel the coldness and see the smoke coming from your mouth as you imagine being there, perhaps on an early morning walk.
Now is the time to appreciate the richness of winter’s edges, since soon enough we will be taking the heavy velvet quilts and warm flannels back to the attic for another year of waiting to be held and caressed on a windy winter’s night.

I agree that is a beautiful picture
Being there to take the picture would be wonderful. I took winter pictures once. It was cold and my pictures didn’t come out looking like what I saw. I wonder how they do that.
