Raine's Secret Garden

APPLAUSE

Winter will never be one of my favorite seasons.
It’s too brutal, too harsh, too absolute.

Still, no matter how much I balk and complain, one truth can’t be denied.
It can have a spectacular beauty, all its own.

My old willow became this vision, greeting me one frosty morning last week with the most delicate coating of ice imaginable.
Being a writer can seem awfully inadequate sometimes, so I won’t even attempt a description.
It took my breath away.

    That is totally spectacular. Could be in Narnia. Winter does have to have some compensations or everyone would move to a Pacific Island.

    As you say, breathtaking for sure.

    Sasha, I don’t always photograph people well (yours are always awesome)–but I do love striking scenery. :yes:

    It was lovely, Suzanne.

    One of the very few times we’ve seen a blue sky in months, Bernard, lol. :cool:
    I wanted to share.

    It was actually worth the cold, Bernita. :yes:

    Beautiful picture, Raine. :wootrock: That’s something I can add to a book one day. BUt you’re right, don’t know if I could describe it in a decent way.

    Lucky shot, Tyhitia, I’d never seen it quite like that before.
    Glad if it inspires you! :yes:
