I shared on my site several times after Camp SS, that I fell hard for California. When I arrived home after that amazing trip I struggled with my surroundings. Everything looked so dull and lifeless, and quite disappointing after the beautiful scenic beaches of California. It took me weeks to get back in the groove…settle into my world, appreciate the beautiful open space of this place we call home.

Then the winter cold hit fast and hard…..it was really shocking…..walking on the treacherous ice made me uptight and just plain cranky….. But winter seemed to settle, soften, relax….and we’ve sinced been blessed with so many amazing days, allowing us to soak up the crisp air and just enjoy the beauty around us.

Thank you winter for your gentle spirit this year….

Today I share a shot of our ‘winter’…..  the open lake we walk each day….. Winter’s snow, frost, starkness, solitude, it’s all truly poetic….. Don’t you think?

I’d love to see your winter… perhaps you have no snow, a little snow… or maybe even tons…. Share with us a little peek of your world today…..

  2. Hmm, something seemed to have gone wrong. I'l try again and apologies if I post twice now.

    Winter here is weird. Sometimes it still feels like fall, with its storms and rain. But many other days it feels like it's already spring. I feel sorry for all the bulbs that are starting to grow already, fearing that when winter finally arrives after all the flowers will be lost. But still we really enjoy the soft weather. It's lovely.

  3. We have had such a mild winter this year so far. Last night there was a dusting of snow, and we are probably having the coldest days yet. Last week, I went for a walk with my photography group around a local park and it was pretty bare and grey, but these red winter berries were striking against all the brown. I added a little KK texture and a snow overly to enhance the feel. Fake Photoshop snow may more snow than we get here all year 🙂

  13. I'm from Finland so I'm officially a pro at cold, snow, ice and winter! Unfortunately it's also quite dark in here during winter, so getting good pictures even at daytime can be hard…

    But I've had my camera stand /tripod with me this time:
