Yesterday's blog entry was about the smoothness of snow and offered a view of a quiet cove in the Lanark woods with snow, trees and wandering stream, a place which is much loved. This morning, I am tucking in two other views of that same magical corner - I visit the place every time I go out to the highlands, and it always energizes and soothes, caressing the spirit gently and enchanting the senses. I come away from such intervals feeling renewed and refreshed and ready to tackle whatever comes my way.
As cold as it is on the Two Hundred Acre Wood at this time of year, my special corner is out of the wind, an oasis of calm and quiet. The hemlocks, pines and spruces are richly fragrant and perfect in their dusting of snow - any other form of ornamentation would be excessive.
Yesterday, it was so quiet that I could hear the snow tumbling off the trees.

I can almost hear the silence in these photos, Cate. Deep deep peace of the woods to you.

I think it should be "Blog of the Year" :)
The top photo especially has a magical almost dreamlike quality. How fortunate you are to live surrounded by so much beauty.

So, beautiful, but so cold. I sometimes miss the snow. But, your posts help me through it.
