". Arranged Words: Winter's Light

Winter's Light

Hi there,

I hope you are all well and happy. And for my friends in the U.S., I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

'Tis nearly the season. Can you believe it?  I've been shopping and doing a little decorating. One must get the wreath on the door and a few lights twinkling early to knock the dark afternoons out of the ball park so to speak. The candles are lit every night this time of year, too. Light. So good for the spirit.

On the creative side of life, I've been painting and sketching. I also have two paintings in an art exhibition that is currently on for nine days. And I will be hosting at the exhibition this week along with other people, so I am mostly keeping out of trouble.

On the home front, the snow arrive early this year. Eleven days ago to be exact.


       The light seems remote this time of year...wispy, delicate and fleeting. A barely there type of light.  Amazingly beautiful.



 Once the leaves are off the trees, many nest that I never knew existed appear.


Thin ice covering the brook.


Merry and Bright.



Far off, a skein of geese heading south. Lucky ducks geese.

I love to hear them calling to each other. Enthusiasm and encouragement. A winning combination. 

Almost bedtime...must have a snack first.
So pleased to see that she/he is nice and plump and prepared for winter.

I only had a few seeds in my pockets, but I think these Chickadees forgave me. The dear hearts.



A Nuthatch knows how to make an entrance. They walk down the tree head first, fly to another tree face down and then land at the feeder. They move and fly so fast.

What a profile. It speaks of wisdom.




More snow coming down as I go to press.  So much like fairyland out there today... very mild and lovely, so I took a walk in the snow.


A few cards I've been drawing/painting on my desktop. The wee desk better known as "Abigail."

I'll be linking with Wednesday Around the World, and on Thursday with Soma who hosts the blog Whims and Fancies. Many thanks for hosting, ladies! 💗



I've left a reply to everyone who left a comment on my last post.
To my lovely readers a big thank you. You all make the world a better place!

Cultivate your dreams!

Your desk is so neatly organized and your photos so beautiful. I love the peacefulness of snow..... at least for a little while. And the cards are gorgeous. Peace.

I do love the wispy and delicate winter light! The snowy landscape warmed my heart and made me smile, and there is always life and colour if one looks for it. You captured it all so beautifully in your photos. Wish I was there in person. All so peaceful. I always love a peek of Abigail. Joyful cards.

Thank you SO much for linking this post on Wandering Camera!

Abigail the desk, I like that. My sturdy table now seems to be stirring about for a name. See what your amazing imagination has done for me. And, does the snowy tree remind you of a dancer's pose?

I really enjoyed seeing all your photos. I'm quite envious of your snow :)
