Winter.
At the end of January, it is comparatively early in the season (my glass half-full nephew reminds me that it’s “only eight weeks until Spring!”) . . . but also so very, very deep.
And somehow it’s all still out there: brilliant buds waiting in the soil, hearty birds calling out as they find clusters of ruby berries still clinging to branches in white-out winds, fish gliding under inches of ice.
In the depths of winter, may you find within you “an invincible summer.”

This has been a long, long winter for the north… Beautiful photo and words, as always, Stephanie!
I especially like the bird – the whole picture looks like a Japanese painting to me. Splendid!
I usually long for spring but this year we here in the uk have had some really beautiful extremely cold but sunny days.. 🙂
Beautiful photos and thoughts, Stephanie. The bird says it all!
A beautiful capture Stephanie..! Spring may be soon coming, but until then we can enjoy the beauty and the inspirations winter brings right 🙂
I need your nephew’s positive attitude! 🙂
The picture with the Robin is quite lovely.
