The Artist in you!

I wanted to share some beautiful work, on the following sites.
I find so much beauty in nature that I wanted to share with all you beautiful people.

"What is art but a way of seeing? "-Thomas Berger

I have renewed my search for beautiful quotes due to a thread on this Desk.
During my search I found some that echoed my thoughts......
The beginning of this thread,the end of it and all that was in between, the special people here...

"Discovering this idyllic place, we find ourselves filled with a yearning to linger here, where time stands still and beauty overwhelms."

"Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn."

The images on those sites are beautiful, firmbeliever! It's especially nice to see images of nature in warmer times! Thank you for sharing!

Below, are images of what it looks like now just a little ways North from around where I live. And, that's not white sand!

I would love to experience snow someday,it sure looks beautiful.

I guess having never been in the cold slushy snow,I can appreciate its beauty.

Snow looks so beautiful
I want to experience it
Though I bet it will never compare to the beauty of experiencing the friendship of the wonderful people I have met on this site

Cal, how I wish I could give you snow. It would pale in light of what you bring to this thread. Good to see you on here.

There is an art to snow, a poetry, emotions... God creating art on the face of the earth. Food for thought as to the events of the seasons and our lives... I love the snow, and I also despise it at the same time... Snow is peace and hardship, beauty and ugliness rolled into one... Snow is fun! But, snow is also sad... Snow can bring out the best and also the worst in us...

Clough is so right, snow has two faces.

MY greatest joy was waking up early before anyone else had a chance to make tracks in the snow. I used to wait until the crack of dawn and sneak out on the porch.
Across the road and to the left , on a small hill, was an old weathered grey barn, that my great grandpa had built and it had the barbed wire fence and wooden fence post. The background was a large hill and to the right a patch of pine trees and a creek below. The creek ran in front of my house and there was a one lane bridge, directly in front of it.
It was such a site to see the rocks in the creek extra large from the snow that mounded atop them and spilled over into the small creek. I was always amazed how the snow could pile so how on those little barbs without spilling over or how the tree branches swayed so close to the ground, covered in snow, but under the tree it would be so cave like, soft and dry, a perfect place to sit, a carpet of pine needles and the smell was perfect. The beauty of it was breath taking. Nothing else can quiet the sounds of the earth like a blanket of snow, even the creek was quite on those mornings.

Thanks for talking about the snow and posting the pictures.This is one of my fondest childhood memories. My mom still lives there and some winters she sends me a picture of the same barn that I am talking about, although it is in disrepair now. Mmm the good memories...
