Walking with Winter along a River of Falls
Where snow softens hard edges of steel
And creates ephemeral works of whimsey
Where snow and ice form furrowed bridges
And crystalline waterfalls frozen in time
Where icy peninsulas extend the reach of land
So winged ones can walk on water
Walking with Winter along a River of Falls

Your post was sheer poetry with beautiful images bringing those words to life . Loved the whimsical sculptures, the first one was arresting. A fantastic post that offers an amazing glimpse into your world.
Thanks so much! Yes, that first sculpture is one of my favorites. Glad you liked it too. :D
Walking with winter is wonderful - thank you for taking us! Love, love that horse in snow.
Thanks! Yeah, the horse sculpture looks great in the snow. :)
Fabulous snow scenes. The sculpture is my favortie. The crystalline waterfalls is beautifully captured, looks mighty cold. Stay warm!
Thanks, Amy! Yes, it was 8 degrees yesterday morning. Brrr.
Beautiful, all of it! But, that sculpture of the draft horse..., just amazing, especially the gear/wheel/cog (or sun symbol? hard to discern) at its hip.
Thanks, Rebecca! See the following post for a better view of that amazing sculpture. https://bendbranches.com/2017/02/22/outdoor-metal-sculpture-horses-bend-oregon/
Lovely images and beautiful prose to accompany them. Your world is so peaceful and serene in winter.
Thanks, Patti! Yes, snowfall brings a wonderful silence and sense of peace to the land.
Hmm. Hugely better response times this week. What changed? Love the monochromes.
Thanks, John. I added "lazy loading" for pictures on my site. I also spent hours figuring out what was affecting the visibility of my like button. I think I fixed it. 😁
