Yesterday we had the most lovely snow day. The woods were simply begging us to come and explore. We had new trails to find and secret passageways and hideouts. Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God. George Washington Carver There were tracks to follow. And tracks to make. Occasionally, the wind blew mini blizzards of snow around us. And then the sun returned and the sky gleamed blue. The sky is the daily bread of the eyes. Ralph Waldo Emerson There were hints of Spring. And reminders of winter. We made wonderful memories. And then, there were the snowy camellias. I got a little swept away by their color and beauty. I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. e.e. cummings ...
Ok, you are literally outdoing yourself with photos like these. Beautiful! I sooo want to be digging around in sand instead of snowdrifts, running through waves instead of the biting cold wind! Thanks for the virtual 'vacation' to the beach! :) H2U
ReplyDeleteThese are just awesome photos! I love the low perspective with the kids blurred on the second one. I really enjoyed these and now I want to make a trip to the beach!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Deb. I really like that second one - the angle/perspective and the out of focus color of your kids blurred in the distance. And I am SO ready for the beach too! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are all gorgeous! Looks like somewhere I'd like to be right about now! :) So much fun
