    I like the stone stairway in your mosaic and your water colour is very pretty. It's nice to know one has a soft bump on the teeter totter with the tires underneath. I remember many very hard bumps on these as a child. :) Pamela

      Great post Carol. Your sketch is beautiful - spring is coming! But, not having snow, I can appreciate your cold, snow on the ground photos also!
      Great haiku also!

    Wonderful post Carol, nice photos and a wonderful haiku on 'full snow moon'. More snow to come at your place I understand ... hope that you will enjoy the snow. In my country we have also snow ... but not that much.
