1. The best things often take a while to gestate and take form..i love how this changed midpoint- winter can overwhelm the mind and freeze things in a miserable way..but if we choose to see the ice sparkle as brightly as the sun putting on our boots and going out to play sounds like a jolly good idea!

   1. I have been putting on my boots more and more this winter…enjoying the weather, the scenery and playing…glad you enjoyed the poem Jae!

2. A wonderful peek into Winter Solstice 😀 hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

   Lots of love,
   Sanaa

   1. I am Sanaa although it is pouring rain today….snow this week so I like that! sending love your way for a wonderful week!

3. Yes, winter did indeed blow in with fury! Here it is a bit too cold to go out and play. Sigh.

   1. I know many days it has been bitter cold, but I bought a few more things to layer me and keep me warm…even 10 minutes outside in the cold has been invigorating….and I need it! Hope you can play soon Mary.

4. Dunes on which silence is hung.. wow ..magical.

   1. Thank you….being outside after a snowfall is eerily silent and I love that silence….something to experience.

5. Such beautiful words and photos invite us to participate in the beauty of winter.

   1. Each year of my retirement, I have learned to embrace winter and enjoy it more….so glad you enjoyed the post Kerry!

7. Winter has just came here.. and today we could be out playing… skating on the ice… just hope it continue… indeed the autumn was a little bit too warm… I prefer it like it is today.

   1. I hope you can spend some time skating soon, Bjorn! I prefer the cold and snow of winter too.

10. Crisp, clear – and beautiful.

    1. Just like a winter’s day! Thanks Soosie….

11. I like the idea of silence being sung…..that juxtaposition of contrasting ideas between silence and singing. It’s very effective.

    1. Thank you…one of my favorite lines as well!

12. Perfect! This just sings.

    1. Oh this makes me happy Mama Zen…I love when my poetry sings for others too!

13. I love snow and icicles! How I wish winter would enter with that gust of white! I need no encourage to go out and play. This was a true delight.

    1. Yes…winter does invite us to enjoy!

17. Philadelphia hasn’t seen that beauty yet this year. I have a feeling when it comes it will dump. Meanwhile, everything here from words to images invites me in to enjoy.

    1. For some reason I did not realize you are in Philly….my home town actually. Born there and all my family is from there…we moved when i was five so I haven’t lived there in a long time….so glad you enjoyed the poem and I hope winter is gentle for you with its snow.

18. Beautiful!!

    1. Thanks so much Robin!

19. A splendid art piece – what a treat! The poem superimposed on the photograph is lovely – far exceeding, I believe, a professional graphic arts standard. Wonderful, Donna!

26. Love the photos and poem equally.

    1. Thank you so much Gayle!

27. Yes… let’s “put on our boots, and come out and play!” Winter, for sure, is very strange now; it looks more and more like Springtime, but I’ll still wait for the promised snow….*-* (at forecast) 🙂
    Have a great day!

    Winter blew in hard here, too.

    Enjoy and be warm,
    Jennifer
