Moody Campobello

The recent snowstorm dressed our gardens in glorious luminous garb.









The garden was just breathtaking!







After a long period of hibernation - we have not posted a blog in quite some time - we were forced out the door with our cameras, followed by our two dogs to record such beauty. Our destination - the creek, which today, was absolutely breathtaking!













On the way back , pulling on our dogs, now spent from so much frolicking in the powdery snow, our minds jolted by such incredible landscape, we reflected on how much this area changes almost daily, showing us its different moods and truly affecting ours. Hard to believe that the creek, a couple of days ago, looked like this.






But every day, especially early mornings and late afternoons at dusk, we see moments of great change. Beautiful sunsets are common - some even haunting.







Misty mornings are also are also frequently experienced here - after all we live near lakes and of course we are near our creek.





The pastures seem wrapped in mystery.








"I don't ask for the meaning of the song of a bird or the rising of the sun on a misty morning. There they are, and they are beautiful. "


Pete Hamill

The landscape becomes poetic, dreamy.




And as the mist lifts sometimes we are graced with rainbows such as these.








What more can we say? Well, spring is around the corner (wishful thinking) and with it the sounds of the birds and the stirring of insects and other creatures. And above all the garden will awaken and thrust forth all the colors that make us smile.

Well worth waiting for!

And in the meantime we stare at the glorious amaryllis which we forced indoors, and us giving us a preview of what lies ahead.
