Winter!

[eldritchhobbit]

Winter is my favorite season, second only to autumn. And at last, it feels as if we're finally experiencing winter.

I have pictures from our home to illustrate...









And here is Virginia's enthusiastic response to the snow.






I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn't show.

It certainly is an icon of yours. I adopted it the first time you had it up for grabs, along with the "'Tis the Season to Cuddle Hobbit" icons. That was right before Christmas '04, I think. Does that sound right? Is it okay that I'm still using it (with credit)?

Thanks for the kind words about the pictures. Those are indeed the woods where the deer hang out. You can see more at the far left of the house picture. In the woods shot, you may be able to make out a patch of reflection in the middle of the trees. That's the pond where they like to drink. Isn't it amazing how ice crystals can make everything seem magical?

I DO see the pond, and how pretty that it's right there, close enough to spy on (and it totally look magical—as if that's where your local water nymphs have settled down).

Of course you can use the icon (interjects, "Wow! It's been over a year that we've known each other!"). Actually, if you don't mine, I'm going to snatch it back from you while I can, because I honestly thought I'd lost it. ♥

My husband has put large stone trolls/gnomes around the main lawn, just before the woods begin. I like to thing the faeries sunbathe on their foreheads. :)

Awesome! Do you need the "cuddle hobbits" one as well?
