The Land of Melting Shadows: * S* N * O * W

The Land of Melting Shadows

There once was a land, no further away than your imagination. A Land where the Trees’ whispers can be heard on the wind. And the squirrels chitter and chatter as they scamper to and fro amongst the branches - playing their endless game of tag.

A Land where the Brooks babble endlessly amid fern covered banks. Fish and Tadpoles play a game of Leapfrog in the clear, cool water and Turtles sunbathe nearby.

A Land where the tall Grasses sway in the breeze as if dancing to a distant tune. Wild flowers wave their petals at the busy Bees who fly by; Beckoning to them. Enticing them.

A Land where the Deer graze peacefully in the lush, green valleys. A Land where the Birds and the Faeries gather in the bushes of an evening to share the day's gossip. And the Frog serenade, with Cricket accompaniment, continues well into the night.

A Land where the morning sun melts the night into the shadows of the day. And at sunset the shadows melt into night. But there are times when the shadows melt into things best left to one’s imagination.

A Land of Melting Shadows.

* S* N * O * W

Someone must've been listening when I said I missed the snow. Big, thick, lovely snowflakes started falling on Sunday and continued for several hours. Blanketing everything with a thick layer of fluffiness.

The Puppies were enjoying every moment of it. It's not too often that they get to romp in their element!

The Kitties spent most of the day huddled in front of their TV (birdfeeder).

But Valentino had to go out into the snow to see .....

I went out and enjoyed the sight, smell, and sound of Winter.

Cal is "rain" IF we're lucky. I think I need to move somewhere where we get real weather. Beautiful photos, Jeanne >^..^<; January 11, 2011 at 8:25 AM
BeFRuiTFuL KReaTioNS said...: Oh how fun. :( No snow here. Are those huskies? We had a husky when I was a little girl. Teak had a blue eye and a brown eye. Looks like you enjoyed the snowy day and so did the dogs. Our cat Toby likes to go out in the snow. But he would shake his feet as he didn't like them getting wet.; January 11, 2011 at 9:35 AM

JJ said...: I'm afraid snow and I don't really get on, which is a shame because I'm dotty about dogs and dogs are dotty about snow. We had a hell of a lot of it through November and December last year. And I lived in a house once where a blizzard dumped snow drifts to a depth of two feet in both lofts. Getting it out was a horrible job. It put me off the white stuff a bit.; January 11, 2011 at 5:46 PM
Unknown said...: Snow is hitting here, too! Tomorrow! This is becoming quite the Winter (aka: Snowpocalypse). Love the furry ones--Valentino is quite handsome :)
