Winter has its own special brand of solitude. The blanket of snow brings a quiet to the season.
It allows one to be still...
To reflect on what matters...
To study God's handiwork in nature...
and of course time to "look up".
Even with all of its challenges there are many wonderful blessings that come with winter's sojourn.
Hope all of you are enjoying this quiet time of the year.
"...in quietness and trust is your strength." Isaiah 30:15 b (NIV)
Have a blessed week.
Hugs Debbie

ReplyDeleteDear Debbie,
ReplyDeleteOh yes, it is for these reasons that I love winter! The quiet colors let me rest and enjoy solitude and reflection. The cold makes me go inward...maybe the challenges are what make the beauty seem even greater, as I see in your photos...You have a blessed week too, Love, Ria
I've always loved that Scripture. You are right about winter-I must quit complaining about it!
ReplyDeleteI can never get over the beauty of snow. It looks cold but so lovely. We are having a very mild winter after a rather cold December.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, Debbie. I love the little birds in the snow! Love the Bible verse too, so true!
ReplyDeleteYou are so good at focusing on the peacefulness and tranquility of life. Your photos always make me feel like I've taken a step back and relaxed. Have a great week, Debbie.

Your photography is so beautiful, Debbie! The shot of the bird, the way you caught that one bird in flight is special and not an easy thing to do! Have a great week! Hugs
ReplyDeleteWinter can be such a lovely, reflective time. Your photos are beautiful. We finally have some decent snow, so at least it looks pretty outside. I'm getting to old for all the shoveling though! Take care and thanks for visiting my blog! ~ Diane
