may the magic of the shortest day
cloak of the longest night
touch your heart
inspire your depths
and may your spirit glow
with candles snow and stars
until each day grows longer by the light of our sun
lovely solstice
summer or winter
to one and all
summer or winter
to one and all

this week we had ice crystals
i simply adore them

WOW, WOW, WOW. Your art ,my goodness, what a dream. I will be honest. I'd love to play with a BEAR! To skip along nature, with no worries of attack, with no barriers between us, but pure harmony. Then there's the ice crystals....fabulous moment of seizing the wonders we often miss.

Same to you, dear Tammie! The boy and the bear sleeping together are so touching: the perfect illustration for a holiday card. The photographs of the ice crystals is poetic and magic: you caught the essence of winter here! Happy holidays!
