Scene of Crystal

Permafrost upon the boughs, in a glistening diamond wood; where the water meets the Terra, thin sheets in semi-melt perform a slow ballet.

WoW! This is definitely a keeper. What beautiful imagery. Here in Alberta this is a scene I have appreciated often in winter. "Permafrost upon the boughs in a glistening diamond wood." Beautiful. Love it. God Bless, JB

M.L. so lovely - truly a "slow ballet" as crystal coats the forest in "glistening" "boughs." It is a wondrous sight indeed. Blessings to you.
