Tranquility

While gazing out the window this morning I saw a vista of tranquility.  Wintry spruce trees transformed the landscape making it a magical land full of wonder. 


The beauty of the evergreen branches is the perfect contrast to the fluffy white snow.


A snow covered nest reminds me that spring is only a few months away.



Thank you for stopping to visit me.  May your day be filled with wonder and magic!

Beautiful snow pictures!
I am originally from Norway and we used to have 5 months of snow every year. I have lived in London the last 13 years and don't really miss snow at all - except when I see pictures like yours.
Tomorrow we might get our first snow this winter, it will lay for a day or two and that will be it for this winter probably. Cameras ready!

I love knowing there's a little more daylight coming our way as we head into spring! Hooray!!! Love the photo of the bird's nest.

Hugs,

Terry

Just beautiful, Donna. Most of our snow has melted away but I'm sure there will be more to come. It truly does make for beauty, when the trees are "frosted" by God's hand.

You live in a very beautiful part of the country, Donna, and your pictures truly capture that beauty! Nice to hear from you today, and glad you enjoyed my lampshade that I decked out for Valentine's Day. As you can tell, I'm ready for it to be spring already :) Also, I did not know you had an ocicat--wow! We have 3 cats.

It really is pretty. That's how it looks here right now too. It's prettier from the window than it is from the car. ;)
