Sylvan Spirit


spirit of a winter forest
a gentle hush


cloak of snowflakes
gently lull 


into a gentle stance
of peace

cultivates
an eternal
inner light

Happy New Year dearest Tammie! OH MY GOSH!!! This post and the 2013 Blessing post is AWESOME!!! Such a beautiful place, although I might say it looks very cold! Still I would love to be in it for a few hours, hopefully in front of a fire. The gray blue sky looks ominous, so I hope the sun burned the clouds away. Happy New Year to you and our loved ones. May the new year bring you blessings and joy and may it be filled with creative discoveries.

The hushed beauty of winter shines in your landscapes and in your words. The clouds and light in the last photo are breath-taking.

Such peace and beauty comes through these captures. I love the diversity of the trees and how each one adds its own particular beauty to the scene. The distant mountains, kissed by the sun are particularly beautiful in that last shot. A lovely series, Tammie.

Charlotte said...

Oh that is so lovely. You have captured the quiet stillness and otherness of snow perfectly.
We have been subjected to grey, wet or dull mild weather nearly all year. Our climate is very definitely taking us into interesting times.
