Happy for the Frost

Oh well. You all know full well that I rejoice with this winter wonderland. Mind you, it was kind of cold today, the temps were not too bad, but the wind rendered us with a windchill factor of minus thirty-something below (celcius), which really did bite.

I meandered around and took photos today, dropped off presents to some near and dears, and just generally eyed what was going on around me. At my favorite duckpond, there is now an established skating rink, complete with a heated skating 'shack' for us to warm up in. A little girl was crying the blues because she stayed out too long and her toes were really cold. Her anxious daddy was rubbing her feet in an effort to warm her up. Poor baby (though I remember making my dad squirm with that kind of thing, too. Man it gets cold here, and skates are not warm usually).... anyhoooo...

I wrote a couple of Haiku (can't quit, it is my passion, you know), so:

Nature gave its gift
the trees in the Prairies were
all wrapped up in frost

Imagination
wandered as I gazed at the
frosted windowpanes

The fragrant candles
we cannot forget about
they add warmth and cheer

Families gathering
celebrating the Season
I love holidays!




Well, if I don't get a chance to say so, please everyone, have a safe and happy holiday.... raise your glass and toast to the Friends of LitNet!

Bless you all,
Kizzo

    Wow, Kiz, awesome pics...I love the symmetry of the bridge, and really miss the snow. I bet I get to see some snow soon. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Cheers, B

    I'd say that haiku of yours has the bite of the Christmas holiday in it, very nice.

    And that picture, what an eye. Your photos really blow up the whole landscape, Kiz. I'd like to think that each season allows us to appreciate them all, perhaps winter most of all. Have fun o merry one.

    I LOVE love love that bridge picture. Wow, I remember times of 40 below when I lived in Alaska, and it wasn't wind chill. It was cold in Indiana today but very sunny and most of the snow is gone.
