Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.
Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow.
Let reality be reality.
Let things flow naturally forward
in whatever way they like.
~Lao tzu
Change is upon us...
...autumn lingered into the New Year.
A beautiful January day
graced with warm sun and 55°.
A Perfect hiking-day.
on autumn's beauty....
....giving way to winter.
as Mother reveals the bone structure
of her landscape...the loneliness of it,
the silence of winter....
...driving us inward to seek the gentle comforts of quiet and love. 
Yet..
Something waits beneath the snow,
the whole story doesn't show.
Hold tight...
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed that
with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose.
lessons and gifts
of change.

Your post captures these past few days very nicely. I love your photo series. And nice wood-burning stove!
So very true. Beautiful pictures as always. :) I walked the dogs to the maypole circle just two days ago and noticed the pussy willows made a sad early showing. I fear they won't return come spring. Still, the Mother is resilient...you never know!
Thanks for sharing Sue. :)
those milkweed photos are just stunning, as is the photo of that wintery stream. (and i love the two pups, sleeping nose-to-nose :)
