Late Winter afternoon at four o’clock
The sun was rushing off to bed
Where pillowed clouds received it
As it sank to rest.
Five seagulls following the light
Pursued the fading glory in the west,
White arrows in the darkening sky
Following the sun.
Separate and solitary
A single bird made haste
In purposeful pursuit
Fleeing the darkness.
He soared and swooped from side to side,
Powerful, carefree flight
Until six birds vanished
In the Winter sunset.
There is almost no snow in Austria now. This image shows how it should be and how it used to be.
Merry Christmas and most importantly peace to all of you!
El silencio vaga por el bosque en un sueño de hielo y luz.
Silence wanders through the forest in a dream of ice and light.
INVERNO D'APRILE
My dear granny often said: "Winter is a tough nut to crack; when it's about to receive extreme unction, it jumps on the bad, more lively than ever, and asks for food!"
...
La mia cara nonnetta diceva spesso: "L'inverno è un osso duro; quando sta per ricevere l'estrema unzione, salta su dal letto e chiede da mangiare, più arzillo che mai!"
Finally received a little snow, by the weekend we have an ice storm coming, this blue jay doesn’t seemed to care.
Là! Una bella nevicata anche in pianura. Erano anni che non si vedeva una così copiosa nevicata.
Thank you for your kind comments.

Walking among snow-covered trees was magical. I was out in the forests a couple of times before all the snow melted and took a lot of photos.

Last week, on Tuesday, January 26th, I woke to a scene I've viewed before. All the tree branches were heavily coated with fresh white snow that had fallen overnight. I cannot view such a scene without thinking, "winter wonderland!" This shot was taken from my living room window with my iPad. The image has been cropped and edited.
Thanks to all who visit, fave, comment, and extend invitations. Your support is much appreciated. I will be sure to visit your work, too
Trees in winter
With the arrival of winter, and often at the end of autumn, a new problem arises with trees. This specific "winter" problem is associated with the accumulation of wet snow and the formation of frost on the branches and trunks of trees. "Freezing rains" - phenomena occur under certain combinations of weather conditions: sleet, wind, fog, sudden changes in temperature with a "transition through 0 degrees". Such a significant load on the branches and trunks of trees can lead to emergency situations:
1. Breaking off and collapse of large branches. Typical for poplar, aspen, willow, linden, oak. To a lesser extent for pines and elms.
2. Breaking the forks of co-dominant trunks. Most often found in the above tree species with V-shaped forks. Less typical for U-shaped forks of birch and spruce.
3. Bending under the weight of snow and ice, with possible breaking of the trunks of inclined trees.
I found the trees without obvious problems :)
