The sun is going down. Although I took this photo in november, it is still the same view and winter mood today;-)
It's winter, but without snow, just a few degrees below zero. Enough to get a bit of frost. Temporally ice art, as soon as the sun touches it, it's gone.........
Late Winter afternoon at four o’clock
The sun was rushing off to bed
Where pillowed clouds received it
As it sank to rest.
Five seagulls following the light
Pursued the fading glory in the west,
White arrows in the darkening sky
Following the sun.
Separate and solitary
A single bird made haste
In purposeful pursuit
Fleeing the darkness.
He soared and swooped from side to side,
Powerful, carefree flight
Until six birds vanished
In the Winter sunset.

"Winter" for just 2 night.... just straight out of the camera, I love ice, gives more depth and mystery....

The goldfinch were having fun in my backyard today and so was I. My berry tree has seen better days but I couldn't refuse the birds looked so pretty. I had no idea they stayed so yellow during the winter.
Thanks to all for your friendly comments, faves and invites I appreciate so much!!!
Merci à toutes et tous pour vos commentaires, favoris et invitations, que j'apprécie, soyez-en sûres(s)!!!
Just back from a quick trip to Grand Teton National Park. It was so beautiful there. However, it only stopped snowing for short periods. We only saw the sun for a couple of hours in 4 days! The mountains never fully showed themselves. But it was fantastic! The wildlife was everywhere and the snow was incredible. In many places such as this, the snow was really to high for me to see over if I wasn't in the truck. Here I kind of put the camera over the mound of snow and prayed I would be able to get it while standing on my tippy toes. It was a true winter wonderland. Just what I was hoping for.
Will catch up with everyone as fast as I can. Can't wait to see what I missed. Hope you are all having a wonderful week!
Winter solitude –
in a world of one color
the sound of wind.

Thank you all so much for taking your precious time to leave a comment or award on my work. Although I don't have the time to thank each one individually, I appreciate every single one of you.
Winter ist, wenn sich auch die Pferde über Schnee freuen.
Winter is when the horses are happy about the snow.
And the snow has arrived here ....
Although back from two days of fever, I could not resist (not tell anyone) lol
It snowed for two hours, the time to go out and come back and the snow was gone ; ( At each step I took forward, puffy white trees, let slip a shower of snow / water. I also had to bring your umbrella. And by the umbrella, gloves, hat and layered clothing as a cake, it was not easy to maneuver the camera. But fun : ))
Tomorrow looks like it will snow again, thinks the winter to stop us, and I must say that sometimes I'm not sorry.....

Winter Sunrise by Mary Webb
All colours from the frozen earth have died,
And only shadow stains the cold, white snow:
But in the air the April tints abide;
Intangibly and radiantly they grow.
There bloom immortal crocuses, beside
A live-rose hedge, and irises that grow
Along a far green inlet--circling wide
Anemone fields where none but stars may go.
The ardours of a thousand springs are there;
Through infinite deeps they quicken, bright and tender:
In that sequestered garden of the air
No icy pall is heavy on the splendour.
Since you are not in the wintry world to love me,
How softly painted flushes Death above me!
Below, please see the photo of the plant I used for this image. Should have been well on its way to the compost pile by now. :)
Beeches often keep part of their old leaves far into winter. An opportunity to catch some color in a mainly grey winter world.
