I watched the weather report last night and thought of you ;)
You're in a bit of a winter storm at the moment, right?

Have you ever seen "Dead Man" with Johnny Depp? He plays a character named William Blake and there's an Indian who tags along with him and he thinks he's the poet. It's hilarious if you pay close attention. I won't write my favorite quote from the movie here...I'll keep it clean ;)

This is a lovely photo and wise advice.
Merry Always, my friend :)

The frost is beautiful! William Blake is my favourite poet but I can't remember is saying but it sounds like him!!

carla- thank you, the word delicate is just perfect!

maithri- you're so welcome :)

diana- delightful! We too were blessed with snow!

janice- splendid!

devika- that's terrific. I too am finding the joy in winter.

humanobserver- glad you found it beautiful.

lolo- yes, we've had several snowfalls, in fact, I just noticed more falling, can't believe it. I've been homebound since Wed. night, other than to walk to the store! No, I have not seen "Dead Man", will check it out. Thank you for the recommendation!

mim- thank you for swinging by.

art&poetry- I assume he wrote it, at least the site I found it quotes Blake, but whose to say!

Peace to all~

I think that God art or natural art is the best art by far. This is so beautiful. You have such a wonderful eye. It's sad to think that we walk past such beauty in the world. This is simply wonderful and full of life. I love it. Wishing you much peace this season and for the whole year a head.

Vanessa- you said it! When it's from the heart or even a place deeper, art is very powerful. Thank you for your kind words.

polona- glad to bring you a little cheer.
