Winter Beauty
When it's winter in the Valley
and my breath hangs in the air,
The snow will crunch beneath my feet
and glisten in the air.
The stars at night light up my world
so I never walk alone;
It's clear and crisp and beautiful
in the Valley I call home.

Thoughts about this photo:

  • It was one taken during the beautifully wretched and freak ice storm this past Friday.
  • The sun came out for a very brief period of time and brought some blue skies with it.
  • Everything started melting at warp speed, we had to watch our heads for falling ice.
  • I feel terribly lucky that we got stuck at home that day and I was able to capture it.
  • I'm not always that lucky when it's that beautiful outside......
  • I'm also thankful that we have some very neat scenery around our little house 'in the valley'.
  • This photo makes me think of a dreamland.
  • It was very surreal to witness everything encased in 1/4" thick ice.


Update:

*How is your weather? Today was unusually warm, I was outside sleeveless, it was wonderful! Especially compared to the down pour we had yesterday.......

  9. I've heard that some folks like to take nine tiles to fill up your entire row instead of seven, says it's supposed to make the game go faster!
