January

 

 

January

Winter is the slow - down. Winter is the search for self. Winter gives the silence you need to listen. Winter goes gray so you can see your own colors.

  1. So true. I am happy this month will be over this week. On to one more very cold month of February and then hopefully downhill slide to Spring in March. I am looking forward to the thaw! Have a great week my friend. Hugs. Kris

  2. Carla, these are the prettiest pictures of the lake. And I love that quote. It sure is true, isn't it?

    Have a wonderful week, dear friend.

  3. Cold but clear. That's pretty. I as a rule dislike January but as the years go by, I find that I dislike it less and less. I stay indoors as a rule, wearing comfies, and I do enjoy wearing winter layers when I finally emerge to go somewhere, hahaha! In other news, the reflection of tree branches on water is always so charming. Happy week! xoxo
