Golden Moments

Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
~ Henry Miller


As promised, I have a few more photos for you which were taken on a New Year's Day walk. The weather had been quite cold for a few days and there was a new blanket of snow on the ground. That snow has since melted, but a bit more has fallen this past week. We're still having a very easy winter, so far.


On this day, I was enjoying the golden tones of the rocks and vegetation as they stood out against the ice and snow.

ice log
This log near the edge of the creek seemed to exude warmth on this icy day. Its colours came to life with a kiss from the sun.



golden rocks on ice
If it wasn't for the ice which formed around this rock, its golden-green shine would have been lost against the similar shades of the surrounding creek water.



ice sculpture
This ice formation reminded me of an airplane which had just taken off.




fernshadow
The fronds of this plant made me think of tiny, golden line dancers. Perhaps their partners were in the shadows below.



tiny seeds
These delicate floral seeds looked pretty against their snowy backdrop.




dried out pea pod
Somebody must have scattered snow peas for some of the creatures in park. I came across this one, opened and discarded. It was devoid of its usual vibrant green, and almost to be metallic gold in the sunlight.


Thanks for joining me. I'll have more photos for you in a few days.
