Eliza Waters 
ooohhhh….so glad I logged on! beautiful!
Thank you very much, Kim! đ
Fascinating!
Thank you, Cindy. There is a lot of detail, despite its simplicity. đ
Your snow looks just like sugar to me! Of course, snow is so uncommon in my life, I did once have a problem recognizing just what those flakes were falling from the sky onto our car windshield.
It does! Dry snow and fine sand (as well as sugar, I reckon), share the same granular quality. If you’ve walked on the beach, I’d say it is similar to walking in snow (except the temp has to be colder than a SoCal beach!). Wet snow is different, clumping (snowman snow) or mushy, like mashed potatoes. When it comes to shoveling, I MUCH prefer powder! Do you ever visit the San Gabriel’s or Big Bear in winter?
This beautiful picture reinforces that less can often be more. đ
Yes, very minimalist. đ Thanks, TW!
This one looks even colder than the previous photograph. That poor little plant must be freezing. It’s not even wearing a scarf.
đ Yes, a bit cold with a cutting wind. And what would its mother say to no scarf!
That’s right. It’s a very naughty young plant.
đ
Well, that photo says a lot… IT’S COLD!!!
Nice to hear from you, BR! It’s been a while… how is winter treating you these days?
Well, I am afraid it has just started. Good to hear from you, too.
Poetic and peaceful â¤
Thank you, Trini. đ
Very beautiful – love the different textures in the snow!
Thank you very much!
Now this shot would make for a truly maddening jigsaw puzzle, even more than mine! Nice photo, Eliza đ
đ Thank you, Steve!
So simple and effective.
Thank you, Denzil.
Reblogged this on Anita Dawes & Jaye Marie.
I love snow, the crisp clean purity of it instils calm and peace…
Thank you for reblogging and seeing the serenity in this. đ
Like a Japanese painting
It is, great analogy! Thank you, Derrick.
Oh my, that feels so cold Eliza! It is winter today in CK – 36°!
Oh, my, do you have clothing for those temps? All those poor tropical plants! They must be in shock.
I do have clothing – socks and slippers because I’ve learned there actually is a few days of winter here occasionally. The first year we stayed here for a few months I was a little cold. Winter is over now, though. The plants seem fine. I think they covered up the community garden but really peas, spinach, kale would be fine in those temps. I did bring a couple of my houseplants indoors. Single digits! Too cold for me anymore – stay warm Eliza! I used to just drink tea all day long to try to stay warm.
Don’t you feel so much better when I tell you what you are missing? ;-D
I always check the weather in Clayton. I am grateful every day to be here!
Crystal clean snow. I can see what Derrick means, ikebana.
Thank you, Brian. Yes, quite ikebana. đ
LOVE the simplicity in this one, Eliza! Great job with the framing. Beautiful!! â¤
Thank you, Amy. Sometimes simple just shows up and says, ‘Look at me!’ đ
Almost like a sand dune but snow. Beautiful!
Thank you!
Derrick got it just right. I especially like the pattern in the snow.
Thank you, Laurie. đ
Reblogged this on A Dose of Inspiration and commented:
I love how this photo conveys strength, perseverance, determination….this little plant just keeps right on going even through the storms, the coldness, the desolation. So life affirming! My theme for this new year! đâ¤đ
Thank you, Kim. Glad it spoke to you! đ
Love the texture you captured in this composition. Your title is appropriate considering the sound dampening properties of snow. I look forward to experiencing again the silver silence of a fresh country snow fall.
Thank you! Did you get a lot of snow in your area? My sister in Greenville got several inches.
Yes, about 8 inches! After shoveling the deck and driveway, I was too lazy to go to take pics.
I know what you mean – it’s a lot of work!
Gorgeous picture! Our snow is slowly evaporating away. Now that it’s leaving, we’re getting more tomorrow. But you know what that means – it’s warm enough to snow tomorrow! So exciting!
Thank you, Sarah. Yeah, single digits and teens are a bit much. We ‘warm up’ on Wed. đ
Pristine scene. Winter at its best!
I agree. Thanks, Belinda!
Simply stunning!
Thank you, Peter. Have a great week!
When I saw this it reminded me how beautiful simplicity can be. “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” â Leonardo Da Vinci
Thank you so much, Denise. I so appreciate that!
Looks almost like beach grass in the sand.
It does, the similarity is striking!
Looks like the beach to me also, but I’m educated-guessing not.
Yep, granular snow, for sure! đ
Wonderful shot.
Thank you, Fi. đ
No matter where…life.
Yes, it’s true. A lesson in perseverance. đ
