The elegance of winter

A couple of weeks ago, we had a lovely snowfall

And I got to enjoy berries wearing a Santa hat.

Berries

The dried seed pods

Glowed like lace in the sunlight

Golden thistles

And delicate diamonds

Glittered on slender stems.

Even the snowballs on the frozen lake

Looked like pearls.

But my favourite sight – as always –

Are snowflakes of joy.

  1. Oh how elegant Fiona – love seeing these snow photographs. We actually had a major temperature drop here delivering us finally a blow to winter with sleet, ice and this morning tiny snow flakes.

    Gorgeous captures!

  4. Snow balls. And to think I was thinking Snow Goose all the way. There is intimacy in these shots, as pure as the snow.
