| MYSTICAL RIDGES RISING |
Today I woke to a softhearted falling snow. It quickly encapsulated my country place in a dream like gauze. I could feel its many moods. I stepped outside and attempted to capture a bit of it here on my post.

I loved your shots and your painted ladies post
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!!!! Winters are hard for me -- gray days depress me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Especially the first picture.
ReplyDeleteAs I write snow is falling outside but it's not the kind to make that sort of beauty, and we don't have those distant ridges.
Beautiful photos. I love the bird house best. Dianne
ReplyDeleteWonderful winter scenes, love the rocker covered with snow.
ReplyDeleteHi Dianne -- Thanks -- I too love the birdhouse. I have had it for 25 years. My deceased father gave it to me to celebrate a centennial year in Michigan. That is where my father lived all his life. It has seen few years outdoors so it is still in good shape. But I have decided that this will be its last year in the weather. Its future will be someplace inside. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteJune -- Thanks for the comment about the snow. I know that snow is a popular subject on posts and I had made up my mind not to post about it as so many have such professional looking shots of it. However, the snow was so magical this morning that my camera jumped into my hands and I found myself outside clicking away. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteKay -- Thanks for the comment -- spring will soon be here and with it sunshine -- barbara
ReplyDeleteLady Jane -- Thanks for stopping by. Snow can be so beautiful. I'm glad you enjoyed the painted ladies. I visited your nice blog and noticed that you liked miniatures. Here are two links to Mehitable Days blog -- she has a couple great posts on miniatures:

Have fun -- barbara
This looks just like my farm this morning! I love how snow makes everything so quiet and still.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures, Barbara, of a soft winter's day in the country. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, capturing the essence of winter, I could feel its chilly breath and the quiet of the land.
ReplyDeleteLovely snowy scenes.
ReplyDeleteFarmchick -- Yes, quiet and still -- I love it -- barbara
ReplyDeleteMary Ann -- This picturesque snowfall remained the same all day! Wonderful. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteWitch of Stitches -- What a lovely comment about winter snow. Thanks for stopping by -- barbara
ReplyDeleteJayne -- To think you are in your warm season. I like the changing seasons. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteMama-Bug -- Usually the rocker does not get snow. It is on my front porch but the snow had a small whisper of wind that pushed a bit of snow onto the rocker. Thanks for the comment -- barbara
ReplyDeleteKass -- My dogs have been romping in the snow most of the day. I think most dogs love snow but many humans are a bit tired of it as we have had so much lately. But it really is lovely like you say. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteI love your photos, beautiful country!!!Nature at its best. Thanks for sharing!

I love your eloquent words and the photos that capture such delicate beauty and peaceful serenity so perfectly. Just looking at them makes me feel tranquil and restful. Thank you for sharing the magical beauty in your corner of the world yesterday!
ReplyDelete(And thanks for the plug about my miniature posts!) :-)
Ronda -- Thanks for the comments. This surely has been a winter of snow and ice for some of us. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteI adore the wee cabin.........
ReplyDelete:)
Laloofah -- thanks for the kind words. I thought your miniatures collection would be of interest to
ReplyDeleteLady Jane. She collects minatures. I think your Santa's Workshop is fabulous especially as it was put together by your parents.
Mimi -- Ahh my treasure -- the birdhouse. My dad gave it to me long ago. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful images of a beautiful place. They made me nostalgic for some country places I've lived in during the snowy season. Your blog is so healing.
ReplyDeleteGaea -- You are very observant. I have lived in this place for a little over three years and found it to be a place where healing can occur. My woods and fields are certainly part of this -- offering the natural world in all its beauty. I lost a son just after I moved here and I thank the natural world for helping me find my way again. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteYour neck of the woods looks as snowy as mine! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTess -- Ohio is close by so we probably got some of the same type of snow fall. It certainly was enjoyable to witness -- hope you enjoyed it too. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteI just realized I'd failed to mention your wonderful birdhouse! Shame on me, because I love it - its cheerful red door and window trim (or are those shutters?) are so sweet, and it looks so charming and picturesque in the snow. I'm glad you got such a great photo of it since it will soon be enjoying a life indoors. If you'd just bought it somewhere it would be wonderful enough, but the fact your late dad gave it to you makes it even more special.
ReplyDeleteI hope Lady Jane enjoyed my "mini posts" :-) and I thank you for your compliments. I plan/hope to do my post about Mom's general store in the next two or three months.
Laloofah -- Hey thanks for the comment about the birdhouse. I believe that Lady Jane would think your miniatures are wonderful -- at least I do.
ReplyDelete-- barbara
It looks calm and bright. Very peaceful. I love the first photo. It is so flat here, I miss hills. Yours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSheri -- It is a place where you can find peace. The hills are wonderful except when we have ice. -- barbara
