Under home skies
I might not live anywhere special –
My little house is in a row
Behind the houses you see on the left.
But we do have a great location
Right by the lake.
And when the sun shines through
Magical frosted trees,
The skies — and all underneath them — suddenly seem so very lovely.
I’m so used to living here
That it was only when I walked out onto the iced over lake
And looked back
That I realized how very lucky I really am.
Like most things in life, a new perspective
Can promote appreciation and joy.
For other perspectives, please visit: Skywatch.
Well, as you rightly said, a new perspective, and I love yours. Great photos as usual. Many thanks.
Greetings from London.

Wonderful Winter landscapes with beautiful Sunshine. Amazing !!!
February 28, 2013 at 14:08
Winter does have it’s moments of beauty and you did a great job of capturing.
February 28, 2013 at 14:08
Looks a bit like Minnesota, but more beautiful.
Xxx Kiss for you & Oscar.
February 28, 2013 at 14:11
It is indeed a lovely place to live by.
February 28, 2013 at 14:12
ah so true…on the perspective…and i think you live somewhere very special…or maybe you just can spot the special with your lens….smiles.
February 28, 2013 at 14:15
Oh, I think your house seem to be special and the location is superb.;) Beautiful captures of late winter, one can sense there is a shift in the light.;)

It’s beautiful! Sometimes it does take a different view on things to make us appreciate what we have.
February 28, 2013 at 15:24
so true .. take a new path, find a new perspective and embrace life
February 28, 2013 at 15:38
Well captured – beautiful place…
February 28, 2013 at 16:10
You live in a truly magical place!! Stunning in fact

Heavenly!
February 28, 2013 at 16:21
Not only have you given us some absolutely beautiful photos, you have also given us some wonderful words of wisdom.
February 28, 2013 at 16:29
It looks like you live in a fairy land. Such beauty!
February 28, 2013 at 16:53
So much breathtaking beauty and so perfectly captured! Thank you, too, for your wise and beautiful thoughts — worthwhile for us all to remember! Have a wonderful weekend and give Oscar a pat for Sam and I!
February 28, 2013 at 17:04
oh, that is wonderful! amazing what we get used to and take for granted…
February 28, 2013 at 17:06
Gorgeous wintry images.
February 28, 2013 at 17:23
~ Lovely ~
February 28, 2013 at 17:33
If it’s home, it’s special, and this sure looks like a beautiful place to be.
Happy day to you!
February 28, 2013 at 17:41
It definitely looks special to me! I know what you mean about new perspectives. If I come home the opposite way that I normally do, my house and land looks totally different. I almost don’t even recognize it!
February 28, 2013 at 18:08
You live in a fairytale land! So pure and breathtaking! Thank you for letting us enjoy your winterwonderland.
February 28, 2013 at 18:08
The Lake is pure magic… and as for your house, the realtors saying is “Location location location”…although I think you’d make anywhere you lived a special place. Walking on a frozen lake is definitely an experience not in my wheelhouse!
February 28, 2013 at 18:37
What a place to live! Beautiful.
February 28, 2013 at 18:54
You obviously DO live somewhere very special. WOW–your photos and view is INCREDIBLE. I’m envious.. (Of course, I love WINTER.)
Hugs,
Betsy

You live in a beautiful part of the world. I’d rather have nature’s palace and a small house than a big house without a view.
February 28, 2013 at 19:33
Beautiful compositions of lights, shades and sky full of poetry, exquisite.
February 28, 2013 at 19:44
It not only looks like you live in a great location but in a land of enchantment!
February 28, 2013 at 19:48
Being about to look back from the middle of the iced lake certainly gives you a new view of the land around it …
February 28, 2013 at 20:02
it’s a beautiful location!
February 28, 2013 at 20:57
It sure is snowing there, how much do you get in a year?
February 28, 2013 at 20:59
We get lots! Although some years are better for snow than others. This is a good year!

Frosted trees are quite magical.
March 1, 2013 at 01:38
Wrong, wrong, wrong. You do indeed live somewhere special and I am so grateful that your artist’s eye drives you to capture it and that you share it so generously.

March 1, 2013 at 13:05
Your world is so gorgeous and yet so cold looking too! I love those snow covered trees!
March 1, 2013 at 14:14
Very true what a fresh perspective can do. Lovely words, and beautiful photos of the special place you call home!
March 1, 2013 at 15:35
No doubt, you live in a dream land… where walking on a lake is impossible. Brilliant photographs! I loved the middle one.
March 1, 2013 at 16:01
So white and beautiful!
March 1, 2013 at 16:13
I am so used to your photos being taken from shore, that seeing the shore from a distance is a unique treasure!!!
March 1, 2013 at 16:27
Bequtiful pictures, so clean and peaceful nature. I beg it will be taken good care of in the future too.
March 1, 2013 at 17:28
So very beautiful!

Your place is a snowy paradise. Love how the trees are lined, and the markings on the snow seemed like someone had been skating!
March 4, 2013 at 04:49
the shadows and the light makes it so beautiful
March 4, 2013 at 13:49
You have such an “eye” for beauty. It’s really a special gift!
