Very descriptive work. Way to go. I like the picture that accompanies as well. Thanks for sharing this one with us, Sara B. I hope we stay free of snow unless it is a very small amount that won't cause any power problems. Sara K

thanks for your kind words, Sara K. Appreciate you....yes, I want to be snow free this winter....we actually don't get much snow but ice storms are treacherous. Merry Christmas, Sara B

Your images are perfect and reflect snow like porcelain and just as fragile! Made me grab a blanket and turn on the fireplace! Thank you for this solstice gift! Blessings and joy!

Great sense and visual. Really very little difference from the weather and our own temperaments. I sometimes wonder when the earth moves, are we helplessly a-glide, or is she subordinate to our feelings on some deeper metaphysical measure?

wow, thought-provoking comments, Joe. I agree our own temperaments and those of the weather seem similar at times. Perhaps, as you suggest, the weather is guiding by our temperaments....at that deeper level. So much I don't understand but Iike your thoughts and agree.
