    The winter and snow really make the world silent... sometimes in a winter landscape.. it can be so silent my ears hurt...

    nice photos, Carol...The falling snow was magical, as always, but today's slush-into-ice is undesirable, to say the least! Thought of you and your amazing driveway today, too....Happy Healthy Holidays, to you and Zoe....Stay cozy...

    I especially like the first photo - the reflections of the candle-lights and the tree lights in the window - and then in the far snowy distance the tiny house or street lights. Very beautiful!
