walk with me wednesday

Is it really Wednesday??  Two days before Christmas??  How can it be.  Everything moved SO quickly this year.  I lost it.  The year.  When I went to get the Christmas decorations from the attic, they were still at the bottom of the ladder.  Just where I left them, last winter.  Now here it is again.  This is my wake up call.  More walks, more time to create and reflect.  More time for me.  More time….  it is a hard one.

Last Saturday, with news of a large storm on its way, I went to the woods.  It might be the last time I'd see it uncovered for a while.  I love it bare bones, no leaves to hide behind.  Only structure, texture, and the play of light.   What I found was newly frozen ice.  Proof, that Mother Nature does it best.

  1. Glad that you made time for yourself, and got out there before the snow…and glad that you posted about too ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Absolutely beautiful Judy! The last one would make a very nice framed photo.

  4. Mother Nature does it best, but you capture her essence so nicely. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  5. Thanks for the photos. Here in Wisconsin, we’ve had a good snowfall already a few weeks ago, so it’s been awhile since I’ve seen the bareness. This storm should be a doozy. Stay warm and have a Merry Christmas

  6. Fascinating pictures. I was even pleased to see “normal” oak leaves, the kind I grew up with. Here we have Live Oaks, and they have little oval leaves.

  7. I feel like it snuck up on me this year, too, but not much we can do about it now! Merry Christmas to you and Chris!

  8. These are beautiful photos!

  9. Oh, it’s nice to see you walking on Wednesdays again! I love your nature photos. Please do make enough time for yourself in the new year (and drag me along, too!).

  10. So beautiful Judy!
    Thanks for sharing your pics!

  11. I agree with more time for you. It takes energy and intention to succeed with that.
    I still have your dangling ice picture from several years ago as my wallpaper. It has been erased and resurrected several times by new computer purchases, crashes.

  12. How gorgeous the photos of the ice were, they looked like a design, hard to improve on Mother Nature.

  13. What an interesting picture.
    Merry Christmas.

  14. Wow – neat photos! The ice looks so cool. I hope you enjoyed your holiday!
