Even tho I am not a great lover of the cold winter months I still find beauty in the snow and ice and cold. Nothing like the first snow fall that covers the bare tree limbs with snow crystals that glimmer in the sun. The small glimmers that look like diamonds on the ground.
Seeing little bunny tracks and bird tracks left in the snow lets you know your furry friends are still around wanting to be fed. Looking close at the birds and seeing they seem to have put on their winter fur coats to protect them from the harsh winter chill.
Watching the Blue Jays fly from pine tree to pine tree and once in a while the Starlings stop by for a gathering to steal food. Hearing the Hawk alert go out when one decides to fly through the yard on his way to the back pasture to seek food. And every once in awhile stopping to make it's presence known and to show it beauty.
The Beauty of Winter! Everyone have a great weekend!
