We were hit with an ice storm Thursday night, which delayed our travel plans, and left our world coated and sparkling. I snapped a few pictures before I jumped in the car for our 3 hour trip. Within hours the sun had melted it all away, and most of my pictures didn’t turn out as hoped. But on Saturday morning, we experienced a heavy frost and as soon as I noticed it, I grabbed my shoes and my camera, and headed out before the sun “burned away the winter”.
Your mercy rains from heaven
Like confetti at a wedding
And I am celebrating
In the downpourYour heart is wild with colour
Like a never-ending summer
You burn away the winter
Of my cold and weary heart

Goodness me the photos are fabulous but the words of that first verse are breathtaking!
Thank you. The verses are from one of my current favourite songs from a small Irish band called Rend Collective. Here’s the link if you’d like to hear it. Blessings! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IATot8ghzs
Nice poems and photos!
My way to start the day. Confession – it was 10 in the morning! 🙂
Poem and photos goes great together. Beautiful!
Love, LOVE that third one! Just gorgeous!
Thank you – my camera doesn’t begin to do it justice. So detailed (& sparkly) in person. 🙂
Your wonderful photos are showing icy limbs, but remember A. E. Housman’s mention of seeing “the cherry hung with snow.” Thank you, Jenn.
winter is on notice, enjoy the days to come and no more ice until next fall. keep making the days count!
