burnished beauty
In every walk with nature
one receives more than he seeks.

I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields
that it kisses them so gently.
And then it covers them up snug,
you know, with a white quilt,
and perhaps it says,
Go to sleep, darlings,
till summer comes again

When we try to pick out anything by itself,
John Muir
we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.

These pics are really stunning, from the peaceful beauty of the pine, to the river of gold and the matrix of icy buds in sunlight - Simply beautiful.
The quotes add another dimension, not simply as a commentary on the photos but as a meditation on nature and its significance in our lives. Good work!
Yes, it does work as a mediation or inspiration. Glad you enjoyed the quotes and photos. You write so well, I should get you to write the commentary. :)
Wow beautiful and full heart touching Thanx for sharing keep it up 😍😍😍
Thank you so much. :)
welcome 😍😍
These are beautiful pictures. I love the glistening light in the droplets. It’s really neat how you’re combined your photography with the quotes!
Than you @jayna. I wish I could have captured it the way it looked in person. The trees were sparkling in the sun so brightly. Some of the photos I haven't shared shimmer with pink ice on the trees.
Oh I hope you share another post with the pink ice.
Oh....I might. We'll see. The critic in me says no, but you never know how I'll feel about it in a day or two :)
Good job ! Macro photography suits you well :)
Thank you @weberh8! Very kind of you to say.
Yes you are right @countrygirl, it looks like they wrap and protect it until summer comes.
A very cold blanket at that!
I can imagine, you definitely need a jacket every day and a thick blanket every night.
