All though it's an ekphrasis it's also a lovely scene painted with your words...Raul

I hope I found the correct painting. It still looks pretty much like winter there and it is so beautiful. I feel like the only one who loves winter. Then again we have not had much snow here this year as many other places have, though it has been cold. Lovely change of seasons poem Brian. Love, Shar

California is breaking records for being warm in January! No one is happy...we need the rain!! (and some trees are confused...starting to bud!) Weird....
