The first snow of Winter

Am I the only person who cheers when they see the first snow of winter? well we got ours today in the UK. OK so it was a light sprinkling but its here.I love how snowflakes can turn a bare canvas into a magickal creation. I love how everything looks bright and sparkly even the bare trees come alive.

I love to dress up snuggly in winter clothes set off walking with my camera and start snapping, then arrive home to a cup of hot soup nothing finer in life. I fear its here a little early for a white christmas but todays sprinkling has now got me in festive mode. Help now to start panicking.

A Winters Night

Oh the glory of a winter night
as the snow covers the ground.
The beauty silent and unspoken
such glory without a sound.

The chill in the air is brisk
winter skies are clear and bright.
You can breathe in ole man winter
as you inhale the wondrous sight.

All of nature is now quiet
You may see a deer pass by.
A redbird leaves its shelter
for the crumbs it sees nearby.

The night is cold and silent
All of creation goes to sleep
Within this glorius winter night
are warm memories we shall keep.
