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….

Joe, this is a wonderful start. I especially like the number one and seven photos. Walking around in the winter always seems quieter than other seasons. I'll try to gather a few of my examples to post.

Taken in march just after the "Blizzard of '93" with my trusty old Pentax K1000. He was a very large German shepherd, and he is standing up in this picture.
Such a sweet puppy! (They’re all puppies to me. 😊). Wonderful memory.
