A "White Christmas" for you then...
May it be as wonderful as you are!

A white Christmas - you are blessed! Have a happy one.
It will be green here, sadly.
Happy white Christmas.
We had snow a few days ago, but it all melted away. Two Aussie boys are coming for Christmas and I so much wanted to give them some white snow.....
Snow is the essence of winter, and a perfect way to celebrate the solstice. Beautiful.
Very well done!!! Glad you have the snow, would really interfer with my walking.
oh this is good, really good...succinct; in its brevity, it speaks volumes.

Lovely. Lovely. Makes me think of all the things I enjoy about writing, and snow (don't get that much here), and winter light.
(And yes, Charlie, I can write doggerel...my friend Andy Spiegel will attest to that, as he's been the victim, er, recipient of some. But nothing like "kerschplitzelled"! MB, had I made that cake with a fruit brandy not rum, perhaps you could've spelled it "kirsch-plitzelled"...)
:-)
Lovely haiku and photo...makes me feel sentimental about snow...
However, I think I'd be just as happy looking at pictures of snow this winter, and not shoveling!
Oh! How perfectly beautiful!
Ah. Happy white Christmas!
Alan, I don't know if we'll be lucky enough to have the snow stick around that long. But I'm happy to have a white Solstice! Merry Christmas to you, too!
M-L, by the time Monday rolls around it may just be *brown* here! (At that point I'd envy you your green.) We'll just have to wait and see.
Britt-Arnhild, welcome! If it's not snowing in Norway, I'm not sure what to think. Enjoy your visit with the boys!
Robin Andrea, that's exactly what I was thinking. A beautiful Solstice.
Pat, thanks! The dusting we got yesterday afternoon would not have interfered with walking... but we got a bit more last night so you would find it a bit awkward now, but still doable!
Sage, thanks. The snow speaks volumes — I like that! ;-)
Charlie, "oh, but it's a dry cold..." Yon Glaswegians have much more humidity to contend with. Isn't that a great pic? Wish I'd taken it.
Lori, "kirsch-plitzelled" ... heh, I knew you could come up with something! ;-)
Firebird, yes, there are drawbacks like shovelling. But I do think if it's going to be this cold there might as well be some snow!
Pauline, thanks!
Leslee, I'd love it, but we'll see about the white. Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
wonderful, mb!
we're in for a green christmas, though.
How lovely is the photo and the ur words it is peircing my heart gently
The sentences say nothing. The sentences say everything.
I love the last two photos. The branches against the white sky with your poem would make a fabulous winter card. Merry Christmas, MB!
Such an elemental photo. And a poem of perfection to go with it.
awesome image!!! wow!!! you have such a keen eye!
write away songs of silent white! Lovely photo MB!!
perfect!
Thanks, everyone. I usually post photos I take — this one, however, is a stock photo as noted; I didn't take it. Glad you all enjoyed the post.
the silent whisper of the word snow
falling ... mb lovely! photograph beautiful. :o)
Such a small amount of words that captures the imagination. Nice photo too :-)
Trinitystar, I'm glad you heard it!
M. Shahin, haiku is a fascinating form: its condensation can lend power to the image. If I'm lucky!
I love this 'spinning it out in sentences of white'
Thanks, Sue.
