Winter Magic


it was a cold night
perfect for crystals to visit our winter realm



then the sun rose above the forest of conifers
lighting the crystals
offering sparkles



for a morning
they glowed
offering magic for all to behold


delicate
feathery
ice crystals


I hope every one is safe and warm through all this cold weather. 
Though cold here, it is not like so much of the country. 
Be safe.

  1. I honestly think you are from some otherworldly planet where you are known as the Crystal Whisperer and have a most intimate relationship with one Jack Frost, a skilled artist in his specialty. No one, and I mean no one, does it better than you do. No one.

    1. Dear Jeanie,

      Thank you so much. You have touched my heart. I do adore them.
      They inspire presence…. hard to think of anything else in their presence. And they are a doorway, threshold into the sacred divine, making it so obvious to participate in the magic of our beautiful world.

      Thank you for touching my heart this morning.

  13. This is definitely Winter magic, Tammie Lee. The ice crystals formed like feathers, that is truly amazing! Your photos are always a wonder to look at, and when many complain about the coldness of Winter, I think it's just wonderful how you embrace it. There's so much to appreciate this season.

    Enjoy these February days, Tammie Lee. These are exceptional photos, really.
