Those of you who follow such things will have noticed that there was no POTW post again, yesterday. That's the bad news. The good news is that I should have one for you, next week and it will probably be supersized.
For now, here are a few simple photos and quotes. I hope you enjoy them. I'll be by to visit your blogs before too much longer.

"Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand." ~ Henry David Thoreau
