Winter Inspirations!


Winter is not my favourite  season -frozen, chilly, cold and dark...., but depends on where I am - if I'm in a place where winter is rainy, I hate it   if I'm in a snowy winter place, I simply love it... 

 

I like it when everything is snowed in and frozen up. Morning walk in the winter will make us fresh. The air is so crisp and clean. The sunrises and sunsets are just gorgeous. It's so nice, when the Winter ground is white and all the white snow glittered along the streets and trees......

 

.........snowball fights, making snowmen, sliding on ice - all so much fun but the biggest adventage is that winter has its own awe-inspiring qualities that are specific to its time of year......
