snow fall

and deepening dark
 except for one small spruce
 here the cold deepens
 not very much snow, actually
 the old barn softens and freezes
 so does the woods
night falls, the day after solstice
a bit before chirstmas eve.
this tree on a hillside, north facing
always surprises me
as i go home.
hugs to you all.

  4. Sweet little lighted tree. We got a bit of snow in the morning, but it all melted by mid-day. The dusk light today was beautiful, I love the blue glow in these images.

  5. ronnie, i'm trying hard to wrap my mind around the concept of there really being a place that is in midsummer! when i visit next summer, it will be winter! ha! festive is welcome.
    margaret, thank you, and peace to you and your loved ones.
    val, the little tree is just a joy, far away from the house behind the hill that is the electric source, and every year it's a different tree, and different colors!

  17. Interesting to see the snow-fall like this Velma...a little more than heavy frost but not inches thick.
    Lovely images indeed...it highlights the lines in the panorama of trees and is so beautiful!
    enjoy your quiet days... I can imagine siting by a fire and reading!
    Happy Christmas!
