January Hush ~

{a little click will enlarge the photos}
"A hush is over everything,
Silent as women wait for love;
The world is waiting for the spring."
Sara Teasdale
Stand still.
 The trees ahead and bush beside you are not lost.
 Albert Einstein
 "Now close the windows and hush all the fields:
If the trees must, let them silently toss.
"
Robert Frost

Mary said...

So beautiful! We have had heavy rain for several days now. I can help but wish it had been snow!
Those thanksgiving pumpkins have a way of popping up here and there...

Linda P said...

Deep and untouched snow in those last two photos - such a peaceful atmosphere. Robert Frost's poetic words are beautiful.

Debbie said...

I'm always taken by how poetic Einstein was.

A good layer of snow makes everything look so pretty and ,yes,hushed.

Ginny Hartzler said...

This is beautiful!!! Great shots. I dd have to click to see that the first shot is a pumpkin! We are getting lots of snow here at the moment and I am trying to get pictures this good, but have probably failed. Sunny keeps escaping out the door and distracting me!

Lovely...I have never seen a pumpkin peek out from the snow...Thanks, Susan :) Pray you are well :)

joyce said...

Robert Frost has long been a favourite of mine!

Claudia said...

Such beautiful undisturbed snow! and I bet the deer are thankful for that pumpkin to nibble on :)

Marilyn Miller said...

That first photo particularly is enchanting. The tufts of snow in contrast to the pumpkin made me smile. I thought it was a giant pumpkin in a large landscape at first.

So beautiful. So cool. It was 45 degrees (113 Fahrenheit) in Sydney today ... unbelievable. I am glad I live in the mountains where it was 10 degrees cooler.

So nice to hear the hush of snow here.

These are beautiful as I wait with the world for spring

Susan said...

Just wonderful and so beautiful.

Gayle said...

I adore your snow pictures Susan! And your bird photos, and...well, you get the idea! They speak such peace.

Vicky said...

It looks as though you have a bit more snow than we do- and I think you've captured the tranquility and peacefulness that emanates from the stark canvas of winter :)

Dawning Inspiration said...

Jeanne Frances Klaver said...

Snow! You captured it beautifully, and Robert Frost says it better than anyone!

Saw the photos from the "house" ... miss you and yours... but the cold, there and here. Can't go out. Yours is prettier in the cold than ours is.

It is amazing to me how someone can string words and create such loveliness. xox
