Found this astoundingly beautiful (3/29) as a "feature of the week" and here it is a "first round survivor" ... would have a hard time choosing between the two in the contest. Congratulations, Nigel and good luck in the contest!!

Very naturistic and picuresque.:) Thanks for your kind comment on my poem---it brought me here to this piece that reminds me so much of how things are starting to look around my part of the world. I went out to my car early this morning, and my windows were frozen--imagine that! Best wishes, Sara

The season is upon us and will be freezing in a few days. I can see the images quite clearly. Hey, start the fire inside and get some hot chocolate going. Great job! ~Joseph
