I consulted the Oracle about Sue Vincent’s photo prompt, above. I’m not ready for snow, but a snow garden is a nice thought.
light frosts earth’s shining
treepaths, following dawnsong
through fresh snow gardens
winter listens deep, breathing
sun secrets to spiritwinds

The sun is shining at this moment. I also like the idea of a snow garden. You’ve captured the lovely photo with a beautiful rendering that looks good close up or far away. The Oracle gave you a good one also 🙂

This is winter positive. We tend to forget but it is a garden unlike others, with its own particular beauty.

We get a bit of frost here but no snow. Many of the trees keep their leaves, some red ones, all winter. Last year it didn’t even rain. Winter magic is something I remember from childhood growing up in the chilly north.

Snow before it’s been sullied by humans is a beautiful thing, especially as the sun rises.

I like the idea of a winter garden, too–and I really like these final two lines: “winter listens deep, breathing
sun secrets to spiritwinds”
I can imagine winter listening and breathing sun secrets.

Thanks Merrill. Sue and the Oracle are reminding me that winter is not just bitter cold and trying to navigate through snow and ice.

I remember winter in Western New York as a visual treat, and you’ve captured that.
