Nature is a cathedral
And when the sun shines through the iced trees
They are frosted stained glass windows.
The grandeur of these spires
Never fails to amaze
And the dancing light of winter
Waltzes its way into the soul.

Your writing is as beautiful as your photos. Such a talented eye for beauty, and such a wonderful way with words! “…the dancing light of winter waltzes its way into the soul.” Brilliant.
I’ve been looking at photos of Savannah, GA lately (in putting together my latest post), and that first photo could almost be of Spanish Moss hanging from tree limbs in Dixie! But the next two – no mistaking those for Northern, winter beauty. 🙂 Beautiful!
