walking through the woods
sinking through two inches of crusty snow
to the frozen earth below
sinking through two inches of crusty snow
to the frozen earth below
with each breath
winter enlivening
step after step
pausing and letting the quiet stillness
slow and sync
rhythms heart breath blood
a deeper cadence
she commenced her walk
with an ancient rhythm
natural calm alert
now part of the woods and shore
she walked among

To be a part of this blue-tinged winter scene "rhythms heart breath blood" - is a special gift. Your photos allow me access.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous captures, Tammy, and they did make me feel just a bit homesick -- I raised my family in Montana and I miss it still! Hope your new year is off to a great start!

Is that fog in the top shot? I don't know which I like better. Does the water stay open all winter>

hello Sandy,
ReplyDeleteabove the mountains are clouds and lower in the image is misty fog rising from the river.
only when there are many days of deep cold like -15F does the river freeze. along the river is plenty of ice that changes with each moment. That river is very close to Canada and flows all year round.
thanks for asking.
These and your words are mighty beautiful.
ReplyDeletesuch a lovely poem plus the wonderful scenes! happy weekend in advance!
ReplyDeleteRuby

ReplyDeleteOh my, you have had snow! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe top photo is awe inspiring with the blue/white and I wish I could walk amongst the trees and sink into the frozen earth.
We are still waiting for a snow fall here.
Enjoy making snow angels this weekend, Tammie!
Hugs,
Jo. xx
Beautiful BLUE, BLUE shades! ♥
ReplyDeleteHello Tammie. I was snowed under with completing things in time for Christmas and didn't have time to visit. Now I've been looking back and catching up on your lovely photos since my last visit. Such stunning, majestic scenery and tranquil words. So - I hope you enjoyed very happy Solstice and Christmas holidays, and I wish you a happy, healthy, successful and prosperous 2012. With love,
ReplyDeleteJanice. xx
Lovely shots and words.
ReplyDeleteBliss..and so beautiful..poetry and all..divine and meditative!!

Pure bliss. This is majestic beyond words. We still have not had snow since the gigantic snowstorm late in October. A little would be nice - just not a lot. :)
ReplyDeleteStunning blues Tammie! BRRR! Cold but beautiful. I love your words . . . which draw me further into your breathtaking world. Nearly becoming part of it too. Thank you! Carol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful landscape. Beautiful words. Thanks for showing.

Hi Tammie
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures! Love the winter landscape!
Have a nice weekend..
Yvonne & Raphael
Beautiful landscapes :)
ReplyDeleteHåvard
snow! glorious snow. I was readng a blogger who quoted that without winter, spring won't be that nice. How true, when I was growing up in Borneo, I wished for snow.
ReplyDeleteTammie, I must apologise for blogger. Since 31.Oct., blogger has neglected to alert me to your posts and I am understandably not best pleased since I truly love and appreciate your work and way of looking at the world. I checked right back to where I last left a comment and have now feasted my eyes on all the interim posts.
ReplyDeleteHugs . . . Arija
What a beautiful winter scene along the river! It looks like a wonderful spot to stand and let life flow over you.
ReplyDeleteOh...Oh, Tammie...so perfectly lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour photos make me want to go walk there! We just got a little snow here yesterday, so I'd better get off the computer & into the mountains!
