Winter without snow makes for a bleak season indeed. Yet there's an austere beauty to the dormant earth that can catch you by surprise and feed your soul. I was caught by that beauty on my regular Sunday walk in the Dykeman Spring Nature Park this morning; it was enhanced by rain overnight, and the damp seems to have enhanced the normally muted colors of the Winter landscape. My soul was most definitely fed.

Absolutely beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteViburnum, huh? I wasn't even familiar with the word.
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I like the muted colors in the snowless winter as displayed here.
It's all there!
