This weekly challenge is "The Serenity of Winter"

Just about everyone knows how relentlessly brutal and depressing Winter can be. I am not a fan at all! But to keep this particular season from getting me really down, I push myself outside in order to take some shots of the underlying beauty that is still all around. It just needs to be sought out with a little more focus and determination!

When my own focus lies elsewhere than on just myself, I end up feeling better - even when icy winds are howling at my doorstep. I make sure I regularly get out with the camera to capture the beauty. This experience is soothing and serene. It makes Winter’s bite seem less severe.

Herein, please post images illustrating what “the serenity of winter” means to you! Enjoy yourselves - and stay cozy no matter what….

Needles of pine quilt a soft warm blanket using
hushed hues of faded browns and yawning yellows
as Autumn prepares its winter bed

Northern vagabonds of wind and snow
whistle a warning lullaby of winter's approach
and Autumn falls asleep upon a soft white pillow

no snow winter sucks
wind blows rain falls
better here still sucks
Mississippi is all right

the sun still will shine again
the sun still will shine again...

What you cannot hear in these scenes is what makes them serene - so quiet, no noise, and often no one around.

Wow, day four of "The Serenity of Winter" already! Time
flys when so many UHH'ers display such beautiful captures.

I'm afraid these are not "real" serene...but they are "winterish..."

P.27- that last shot with bench is excellent !

The serenity comes through in all but I especially like the last one. Is that from Cape Cod?

Friday morning and here comes the snow locally. We don't expect too much here. Photos from the past, many archived slides converted digitally. Hope you enjoy them.
