My Farewell to Winter

Our mountains have a fresh blanket of snow...

Winter's final frolic before his acquiesce.  

The valley is green and alive...

 Awakened by the warm breath of Spring.

 Two contrasting worlds...

one bidding adieu

and the other sweet anticipation.

Both beautiful in their own right.

Golden Sunshine

The warmth of the sunshine lifts the hearts 

of all who feel its quiet touch.
Each budding leaf feels its presence 

as do tiny seeds well hidden under layers of moist soil.
It's sunny today, 

and all of my world is happy.
