Winter....

Ah. As much as I hate Winter, there is no denying her beauty.

the way the snow gently drapes over the branches.

and the stillness on a windless day.

the silence is almost deafening.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

this day i was in the park by myself

just me

 and my camera

and all this beauty

surrounding me

calling me in every which way

the lonely  spare branches

are almost eerie crunched single handled

yet still together

and if you listen

carefully

you can hear them

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

a few stray leaves still left clinging on

the branches

the only color visible amongst all the grey

and white.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Winter...at its best
