winter's beauty

In winter, I sometimes get caught up in wishing for days filled with warm sunshine and colorful blooms.  Winter colors are more understated than the bright burst of springtime blossoms, less vibrant than summer's intense greens, and more muted than autumn's radiant golds and rusts - but don't you think that winter offers up it's own brand of beauty?  Winter excels in subtly expressing its allure. 

Recently I was able to go for a nice long walk, and I brought my camera along.  Even on an overcast and cold day, it wasn't hard to find winter's beauty.

needles and snow
