Skywatch Friday: Winter Comes

SandyCarlson November 30, 2007
"One good frost is all we need; then these leaves will come down."
One good frost, and all life beats a retreat south or at least inward
And by the weakened light rests,
Sleeps, perhaps,
And in the stillness feels its own heart beat.
It is enough. That is winter.

    Perfect sky photo! love how you included the vases/pottery and looked outside for the view through the window. I have taken many photos through a window but never thought to include something from inside. Great capture!

    Hello again, Sandy!!

    I am always eager for the first good, killing frost. It kills the leaf mold and asthma girl (that'd be me) can breathe again without the help of steroids!
