Winter solitude —
In a world of one color
the sound of wind.
— Matsuo Basho, translated by Robert Haas

oh, how incredibly beautiful. The first photo is just remarkable, with frosted needles like dancing ballerinas. And thanks too for the poem, one to write down and remember.

Basho always makes my heart sing.
Love the photos.

Lovely, lovely, lovely being in that frozen world - from a distance. The first photograph is spectacular. Thanks!

Wow! Almost makes we wish we had more of a winter here.

Beautiful pictures! So unlike Austin's winter, it's like looking at another world out of storybooks.
