things i love: my light in the dark

my light in the dark

this time of year is not my favourite...but frosty mornings

like this really make for beautiful winter scenery.

having the sun shining makes all the difference.

it gives the much needed brightness that lacks in the winter months.

all of a sudden things don't seem so gloomy when the rays of the sun

hit the frosted branches as they come alive with reflections.

this florida transplant to tennessee needs her light to be strong.

i am grateful for the sunlight flooding my morning time.

happy winter days.

But you seem to be finding joy in the little things, and that's the way to get through it. Soon, it will be spring, maybe not as soon as we want...but soon.

Renaissance said...: Frosty mornings here usually mean glorious blue skies and sunshine later in the day, wonderful. Don't like having to scrape the ice from the car though!; February 13, 2011 at 5:33 AM
Meems said...: Beautiful images, Marmee. Your farm is blessed with so many wonderful vistas in every season. The sunshine makes any cold day bearable and even invigorating. Glad it was shining for you to cheer your heart.

Lola said...: Beautiful pics. I do remember mornings like that. Since I'm a Tenn. transplant to Fl. I do miss these mornings. It does seem that we have had a few like that. Regardless we do have beauty all day, we just need to look for it.
It seems that you have found it.; February 18, 2011 at 3:41 PM
