Winds shift and winter blows
In from the farthest reaches of
North, carried on cold fronts
Turning landscapes into
Enchanted scenes
Resplendent with crystals of snow

Great photos. Clever and thoughtful poetry.
Thank you, John! 😁
A beautiful post! And what lovely birds – do you know what species they are? I am sure we do not have them in Sweden.
Thanks, Ann-Christine! Those birds are American robins. During winter they’re very common at our house, pushing other birds aside to get water.
Beautiful – look much bigger than our Robins.
Yes, they’re much bigger than the European robin. They’re close relatives of your blackbirds. Sorry for the delayed response. 😊
Thank you – just the size I imagined!
I wonder where my comment went? I wrote they look bigger than ours in Sweden. Beautiful!
Icy AND beautiful!
Yes, it was! We have four distinct seasons here and winter is a great time for pictures.
Oh my, YES Siobhan – loved your poem! And your image of the little birds is wonderful Excellent response.
Thanks, Tina! The robins love getting a drink from our water feature in the winter.
Beautiful words to go with these cold winter photos. I love snowy cold winters, so beautiful!
Thank you! It’s going to be 100 degrees here today so I’ll be thinking a lot about those cooler temperatures.
Like your acronym-ish poem 🙂 and the sun bursting onto the snowy grass is my favourite capture
Thanks! I liked that shot too. 😀
Great shots of winter, Siobhan! I especially like the snowy plant with the sun on it. It is hot here today (the 90’s) so winter pictures are refreshing to look at!
Thanks! Yes, it’s nice to think of winter when it’s so hot out. 🌞
