snowy cut wood

It hasn't been a very snowy winter here. This photo is from a while ago. I had wanted to post some wonderful photo full of snowy mountains and trees and the like, to go with the Snowed In anthology, but this is the best I have at the moment. I will say, I do like the smell of the trees when they're cut, they always smell so very fresh.

white daffodils

I don't remember where I was when I took this picture, but I recall loving the beautiful flowers. A memory of spring, even as summer hazes us toward fall. Spring will come again.

a lost memory of summer

I found this picture that I had taken this summer. It seems so warm and soft, especially when compared to the coldness that is outside at the moment. It seems incredible that the snow and ice will thaw and flowers will bloom again. I especially crave the sunlight. This winter seems particularly dark this year.

roses, a memory from fall

I took this photo way back in September, but the roses are still beautiful.  Especially now, as I sit in the dark evenings, wishing for the long daylight hours of summer, the memories of coming across some random rose bushes on a bike ride are a pleasant diversion.

another unknown flower, tho' not a weed for sure

Wow, I didn't expect to find out the previous flower, so let me be greedy and try again. I saw this one next to a walkway, so it was most definitely planted. It was so pretty and seemed as if it was blooming just at the peak moment.

unknown flower-weed, you are lovely

I haven't any idea what the name of this flower is. It seems to be a weed that grows hither and yon as it pleases. It's a lovely yellow color, though, and the petals are pretty.
