Branches heavy with snow
Filter the rising golden sun
Deep greens are peeking through
The sparkling cotton white
As the sky brightens
Ochre grasses and ferns
Their crowns now bright
Stretch their blue shadows
Staining the pristine powder
All is quiet except
A slow squeaking sound
A few branches touching
In the gentle breeze
The low groan rises
Splendour and stillness surround me
Dozens of hemlocks
Protective gentle giants
I am so small
I feel at peace
Inspired by their strength
On this dazzling morning
Entranced with nature’s offering
Heart filled with beauty
A wonderful new day is here

So beautiful, Susanne.
The words, poetry; crisp, precise, describe the photos, capture the feelings, the mood and aliveness.
Thank you for the pleasure of experiencing this.
Thank you so much Linda for taking the time to write this beautiful comment! I deeply appreciate 💕
Gorgeous photographs Susanne snow is so beautiful when you don’t have to go in it 🥶
Indeed! When you are in nature on a mild day, it is heaven 😊
Interesting photos of winter, they would make good paintings. I really like the snow on the trees.
Yes Thank you! You are so right and it was a magical moment!
