Thanks 🙏☺️

thank you! 😊

Hope is a shy guest, easily disturbed, faint light, weigthless, warm, a sudden, sweet scent- first snowdrops, lifting fragile heads through frozen snow: spring is sure to come. So chant these lines, that it shall end which rotten cold lies on our days:

what was frost
shall
bloom anew

snow weighs heavy
on old plum tree's branch -
how I long for spring

Thank you ☺️🙏

soft sadness of snow -
gently blown like
a song by Van Zandt

snow drifts -
buried years
not meant to be mend

snow -
to mend
Winter's darkness

*

frozen whispers
I return
to the hidden pond

oh, thanks! glad the picture caught some of the atmosphere

Thank you very much Anna! It was a rather intriguing place😊

a hidden cabinet, a cozy window, something to read - a place to get away from the troubles of the world. A small chamber inside the vast Château de Beynac, Dordogne, France for #secretspaces, #palacesandgardens

thanks! Will have a look at it!

nice looking bag! I presume it can't be converted into a proper rucksack? (My back doesn't like it when I carry things over one shoulder for too long...)

a harsh wind blows outside, fresh snow is in the air- a frozen world

I needed something adorable. Perhaps you do too. Have a mouse weasel. Photographed last summer

Tiny, very lively and shy fellow, probably doing the most sensible thing right now: sleeping til spring

cold rain -
winter of cat's
discontent

*

it rains and rains -
cat prefers
the window sill

*

constant rain -
the annoyed look
on my cat's face

*

a day drowned in rain -
my cat knows:
I'm to blame
