Winter Solstice night brought the first rain we have had in over a month. The power went off twice, giving me an excuse to light the candles. In the morning there was a lovely crisp frost to make everything sparkle.

Oooh!!! That’s pretty š Excuses (and time) for candles are almost always super. Except maybe Moskitos (citronella candles are no matche for the flying beasts we have in the garden this year š¦ )
Glad you can see the sparkle, even in the middle of winter ā

They are pretty, and it seems we do need excuses to use them, otherwise they just gather dust. It’s always good to recognise a sparkle š

Do it anyway, I would love to see them. I really don’t have any skill, it’s just a point and click, I’m not a real photographer, I don’t have the patience required for that. š

Pretty!
We hardly ever have power outages anymore. I know it’s because of improved technology and all that, but gosh I miss them.

I really like the frosted bud. (And I’m a little jealous that things are so frosty there, as I stare out the window and watch the sidewalk melt…)

Ah, I can mail you some ice if you like š Hope the melting side walks stop soon, I wouldn’t be able to function at that level of heat.

Proof that every season is beautiful … here we in high summer of course and basking in long days but candles are not needed and there is no sparkle of frost to tantalise the eye. Your pictures …. your pictures are splendidly evocative of the spritz and shine of winter.

Thankk you Osyth. Up until that night we really had not had any Winter – just a long warm Autumn. Ever since Solstice, it has been chillier, and we have had rain (not heavy, but cold) and grey skies, and today there is snow on the higher mountains. Seems like Winter realised it was late and has put a little hurry on before the days stretch out longer. š

My husband says that Nature always rebalances herself when left alone to do so and that weather patterns tend to prove that. š

A wise man, your husband. I find it comical that we try to impose months on the seasons, as if nature ever wants to run to any order of ours.
