Winter's Foliage

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.


wispy seeds
"The poetry of the earth is never dead." ~ John Keats




sunlit snowy cedars
“I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk, opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets.” ~ Hamlin Garland




snowy pine
"If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley




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




still seeding
"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished." ~ Lao Tzu




cedar grove morning
“The shadows now so long do grow, That brambles like tall cedars show, Molehills seem mountains, and the ant Appears a monstrous elephant.” ~ Charles Cotton




cabbage with icy center
“Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.” ~ Mark Twain
