Winter Splendor

To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake it is necessary to stand out in the cold. ~ Aristotle

The majesty of winter

Can take the breath way

For a moment, forgetting the cold

 

Deep snow absorbs sound

One can imagine the earth

Asleep in lavish linens

 

Gentle stirring in the distance

Delicate light spreads outward

Breath catches waiting for the thaw

~ watercolour on paper

"Asleep in lavish linens"---what a beautiful metaphor!

Jacob, thank you so much for those kind words. Often as bitter as winter is there is always so much beauty in this season.

The Earth slumbering, now there’s a picture to behold. And the signs of Spring a much welcome embrace.

yes after the pilot.
I can't wait to see what you'll create I know its been a while but time often helps. Perhaps you'll show in Montreal or Toronto and I'll be front and center.
