The snow is gradually melting away –
But I like winter as it gives time for contemplation.
Today, we went down to the lake to see how far spring has advanced.
The lake is still iced over —
But that doesn’t stop the joy.
For more playful moments, please go to: Skywatch.
Pure winters is almost over for you, but, it is spring over here. Ruby is enjoying it.

I also love winter–both fall and winter–as times of contemplation. They are more quiet and peaceful to me. Must be the long nights. 😉

“But I like winter as it gives time for contemplation.”
Yes, I agree, Fiona. Which is one of the main reasons I cherish the season of winter. I actually feel more alive and creative in winter, but at the same time, calm and contemplative.
STUNNING shots! Love the sky in that first one. Bellissima!
Have a lovely weekend, my friend! 🙂

SO beautiful. Our meadows are just beginning to turn into shallow lakes…… they refreeze at night.

Your insight; oh so a-cute. Your photographs, proof, one doesn’t have to look deep into the universe to reveal the mysteries. One simply has to stand in one place -breath, see and express it. A golden triangle – I applaud the artistry.
