Third pic from the bottom is just gorgeous, I love the bright colours, the reflected trees, the ice edging across the water! The other pictures are also lovely but this is the breathtaking one for me.
Ahhh, you feed my eyes and I want more, thank you for showing us what you see, those symbolic water lilies, and the contrast of branches frosted against the ground. Every time I want to photograph or paint it, and know that I couldn't come near to what I see, I remind myself we live in an impressionist painting, just live it! Thanks for sharing your world with us.....

... that a whole world of lament arose, in which
all nature reappeared: forest and valley,
road and village, field and stream and animal;
and that around this lament-world, even as
around the other earth, a sun revolved
and a silent, star-filled heaven, a lament-
heaven, with its own, disfigured stars ...
Ein Klage-Himmel, "a lament-heaven," from Rilke's "Orpheus. Eurydike. Hermes." Poetry's post-rupture, post-lapsus, post-death-of-Eurydice dream of recreating that primal world -- Eden, childhood, Orpheus's singing -- where word and thing were one.

Roxana: Thank you --- but I am sure that I am the one being spoiled!

Diane: "we live in an impressionist painting" -- yes! Thank you for saying this --- it is so true, but sometimes so hard to keep ones eyes open...
