Seems like even the trees/buds are all ready to make this a short winter. I noticed that 5:30 pm is brighter than it should be this time.
ReplyDeleteNot long to go. Spring will arive soon. Please!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view and blue sky!
ReplyDelete"Grim" isn't the word I'd use. I think "majestic" might actually fit better. What a wonderful collection of subjects you find.
ReplyDeleteahhhh ...
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful and inspiring.
If I get writer's block,
all I got to do
is drop in on you!
love the thought-spring is asleep. great photos to go along with the words, we are warm today which makes things want to start growing but spring is still aways off. it's the jan. thaw!
ReplyDeleteWow...great pictures!Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteHope the spring will be here soon! Great shots - happy SWF!
ReplyDeletePerspective! Aloha-
ReplyDeleteAhhhh I do like that second shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Sandy.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Sandy. I think that the buds on your tree are telling us that spring is just around the corner. I have my fingers crossed too.
ReplyDeleteLovely views thank you for sharing.
How beautiful... the words with the budding tree... spring is confused this year, from the appearance of it... actually all seasons.
ReplyDeleteIt`s way too early to talk about spring where I live in the north of Norway.Love your photos,beautiful blue sky.
ReplyDeleteI have been noticing those buds on trees around here too. It is amazing to see them form. It is so cold here the past few days that I wonder if they will survive. Lovin those blue skies.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and a beautiful sentiment.
ReplyDeleteAre you really seeing buds already?
The buds look so huge to me. Nothing like that here in Ontario.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sandy,
ReplyDeletethank you for the beautiful reminder! :-)
The poor buds... they will never survive!
ReplyDeleteLovely blue sky! It is as if the sky is protecting the buds for the right moment of blossoming! Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't realize how much I miss that deep rich blue sky until I see these!!! Stunning photos!!!!

There is something so beautiful to me about steeples against the sky. Both of these shots are great and I love the words you put with it.
ReplyDeleteand just like sleep for us she is rejuvenating and growing on the inside to withstand the night and flower beautifully in the future
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful photo. Like the second photo where life is awaiting to bloom.

ReplyDeleteYou're lucky, Sandy. Ours is not only sleeping, it's buried under a blanket of snow.

I love it when the trees get ready for the Spring.
ReplyDeleteNow you're talking. Not only a beautiful blue sky, but a steeple. One of my four favorite subjects. The other three being old barns, old bridges, and windmills. Have a great weekend. Pappy

ReplyDeleteWow! Spring already in January? I wish the trees out here were budding. Beautiful photos, Sandy.
ReplyDeleteI popped over from Lin's site as she mentions you today. I'm glad I came. Those photos are wonderful. I love how you graduated the anticipation with the 3 expanding views.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and perfect. A new season is always around the corner. MB
ReplyDeleteVery well put together post!
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely! Spring is definitely NOT here yet, in Interior BC. Thanks for sharing this hopeful sight. Hugs, G
ReplyDeleteSandy: We are in the dead of Winter with no thoughts of Spring. Beautiful sky photos today.
ReplyDeleteI love both shots. The first shot has such startling constrast and the second holds a promise. Excellent@
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, and captions!
ReplyDeleteWe're actually making plans for spring gardening, quite a contrast to your winter skies and trees.
ReplyDeletehow beautiful! still, a long time till we see fresh leaves...
ReplyDeletei really like red bricks and red steel materials used on structure. they make them look old yet beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective - both the photos and the attitude (thoughts).
ReplyDeleteHappy SWF!
Lovely. I hope that springs arrives a little early this year!
ReplyDeleteI get lost in the blueness of that blue. beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies. Well, spring will come when it's time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blue sky! The northern hemisphere has a very heavy winter this year ... Very cold and lots of snow nearly everywhere ... Let's hope we'll have a beautiful spring too! Have a nice week-end! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the buds-she is truly on her way!
ReplyDeletegorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHehe ... maybe where YOU are, but not here. Of course, once we've had a few days of these gusty Santa Ana winds, we may not have many signs of Spring left in So Cal. These are both LOVELY blue skies ... so clear and vibrant ... and the steeple is wonderful contrast against them.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
I love the contrast between the two pics. Cold stark reality in the first and a softer one of the buds in the second where hope springs eternal...
ReplyDeleteI see this here in Adelaide. Spring starting well before you expect it. Our unproductive time is now with all the hot dry weather making plants wilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
