Living in Middle Tennessee, this is not an uncommon scene in the winter months...a fence line, a weathered old barn, and lots of great blue skies and snow covered landscape. The epitome of 'winter farm life' in Tennessee... but don't expect it to stay around long. A couple days later and a lot of sunshine and it will be all gone.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
winter is the best time to find out who you are. quiet, contemplation time, away from the rushing world, cold time, dark time, holed-up pulled-in time and space to see that inner landscape, that place hidden and within. - david budbill
I don’t hate Winter.
I do grow weary of the dreary. I do wish I was a bit hardier, being driven indoors by frigid temps and icy winds, preferring the welcome arms of a comfy chair by the fire, or the embrace of a thick throw.
But I do not hate Winter.
For me, it is often a time of peace and solitude, a time to reflect and take inventory, a time to withdraw and embrace the introvert within. But when I do look outward, when Winter grabs my attention, I am struck by the reaffirmation of life that is all around me. Leaves that cling stubbornly to the limb that bore them, bits of green where no green could possibly be, large stately bucks sporting magnificent antlers, dancing effortlessly through the snow, squirrels foraging in the bracken, finding time to play and frolic about, and Chickadees, my beloved Chickadees. Nothing speaks resilience to me like a Chickadee in Winter. Their tiny presence always garners a notice. How cheery they are, these mighty balls of fluff. Just feather and hollow bone, yet seemingly immune to Mother Nature’s harshest challenges of wind, ice, snow, and cold. They accompany us all the way through, with not a moment’s lost faith that this shall pass. They do not bemoan Winter, but readily accept the gifts that come.
No, I do not hate Winter. I am grateful to her.
Even high in the winter mountains color can be found. The grass glows when back lit and with a dark grove of trees behind it.
The local farmland turned into something of a winter wonderland during the recent snowfall. Unfortunately I was in work for most of the week and so by the time I got out with my camera I'd missed the best of it. I still managed to find some pockets of stunning winter conditions though.
This is the final photo in my winter series 2012 of dead flowers and weeds I found on my journey aound our 10 acres. Time to focus on springtime, now.

There is no doubt that when it comes to accessibility, uniqueness, and natural beauty, the Gullfoss waterfall is the most beautiful frozen waterfall to see in Iceland during winter. Widely considered the most famous waterfall in Iceland, the name directly translates to "Golden Falls." But in winter, we might call it "Platinum Falls," as the cliffs surrounding it sparkle with frost and the water turns to snow.
Gullfoss waterfall drops 105 feet (32 meters) into a narrow river gorge and separates into two tiers. You can walk on a path along the Hvita river until you reach a viewing platform by the top of the waterfall, giving you a spectacular view. So the waterfall is beautiful in all seasons but i got a soft spot for winter .
A proper Canadian Winter.
