"The cold was our pride, the snow was our beauty. It fell and fell, lacing day and night together in a milky haze, making everything quieter as it fell, so that winter seemed to partake of religion in a way no other season did, hushed, solemn."
- Patricia Hampl
Beautiful words, beautiful images!

ReplyDeleteI was waiting for you to post pictures of that! It was beautiful wasn't it? I wish we had trees around where we live so I could have got some pics...packing up Boden in the van for a couple of photos was just too much for me yesterday ;).

Vicky, I'm freezed totally this time visiting your blog, more so because I was caught unawares as I was in my casuals and sitting in my cozy room at my desktop.

The quote needs no introduction with your pics.
