 Snow was falling, so much like stars filling the dark trees that one could easily imagine its reason for being was nothing more than prettiness.

"Interest in the changing seasons is a much happier state of mind than being hopelessly in love with spring."

- George Santayana

Oh but I AM hopelessly in love with Spring, Summer and Fall ....

Winter not so much!

But it does give me an opportunity to capture birds in the snow.

Winter Morning Along The Road

 I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again." 

- Lewis Carroll

We had the BEST kind of snow last week - 

it stuck to the trees but not to the road :)

This was the day after our snow - and it was still clinging beautifully

to the trees.

Wild Birds of Winter - Blue Jay in The Snow

"Winter came down to our home one night 
 Quietly pirouetting in on 
silvery-toed slippers of snow, 
 And we, we were children once again."

Winter Landscape - Hungry Mother State Park

"One must have a mind of winter 

To regard the frost and boughs 

Of the pine-trees crusted with snow; 

And have been cold a long time 

To behold the junipers shagged with ice, 

The spruces rough in the distant glitter 

 Of the January sun; and not to think 

Of any misery in the sound of the wind,

 In the sound of a few leaves." 

- Wallace Stevens, The Snow Man, 1923

Winter Branches

"There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you ..... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself."
