| The cold of the morning sunrise on Cape Ann MA ~ In January it can feel like this weather will last forever ~ Yet sunshine always brightens the cold days. |

| A cove on Cape Ann MA with the brittle cold feel of New England. |

| I for Ice ~ Just to give you a sense of the cold on Cape Ann MA ~ New England is experiencing the cold more lately than snow. Snow I am sure will come soon enough. |

| Tis Winter on Cape Ann MA ~ This 'little bird' and other bird love the sumac and now they are also enjoying our newly added feeders for the birds for Winter. |

| Haiku on longer days slowly returning to brighten our Winter days. |
We are wishing you love and peace in each day. xox

beautiful beautiful images and also beautiful words,
ReplyDeleteLove that black and white!
ReplyDeleteYour sunrise is just glorious, Carol along with the others. But my favorite is the sumac feeders!!!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteOh I do agree that sunshine brightens the coldest of days. And how wonderful that our daytime moments are lengthening. Beautiful haiku!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Especially the icicles!
ReplyDeleteBrrrrr. I shall not complain about our California temperatures. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! Gorgeous photographs and wonderful words. I love the ice and sunrise photos especially.
ReplyDeleteI am certainly looking forward to the lengthening days and the longer light. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely! I enjoy winter but by April I'll have had enough snow and cold.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky and icicles.
ReplyDeleteIt's the time of year to enjoy nature! Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteAmazing icicles! I love the gradual lengthening of the days.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, it looks rather very cold !
ReplyDeleteWhile we're suffering a scorching hot day today.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful these photos are. Like your words too. Longing for the sun :)
ReplyDeleteThese are simply beautiful and stunning! I adore the one of the cove and that brilliant sunrise!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the icicle shot-nice close up.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful b&w photos, lovely to see!

Gorgeous shots and I love the contrast in your black and white. Happy week to you too!
ReplyDeleteSpring will come! Love the picture of the icicles.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is such a beautiful place where you live. Many thanks for sharing the beauty of your country.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I especially love the morning sunshine and your haiku.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, those shots look cold! Love the icicles.
ReplyDeleteI simply cannot imagine being that cold!
ReplyDeleteI think the coldest I've ever been in Australia was a -6°C
Our ski fields do get cold - but their season is very short (compared to you guys and Europe).
And right now we're sweltering in high humidity and 30°C days - so looking at your pics has been a lovely cool relief :-)
They're all wonderful. I'm shivering a little!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful icicle shot. I can take a lot of cold as long as there is sun (and no wind).
ReplyDeleteLike the row of icicles, Carol. We haven't been cold enogh for that yet and also no freezing rain. Perhaps. How did Art like them?
ReplyDelete..
Brrrrrrr! Those icicles are lethal!
ReplyDeleteSo cold - your images mislead until the icicles and boy do they bring the message home.
ReplyDeleteNo icicles here! Yours make me need a sweater!
ReplyDeleteNorth of Toronto has had more cold than snow so far this year too!
ReplyDeleteYou have caught winter in your lens perfectly! Beautiful even though it is cold.
ReplyDeleteCarol, you and Art Muse have captured winter perfectly. The good thing ... the days are slowly getting longer. The sun came out her today -- exciting!
ReplyDeleteBrrrr... love the winter photos. :) xx
ReplyDeleteThe first one really catches my eye! Such a different winter than we experience in GA. Ours has been gray and damp.
ReplyDeleteLovely capture of sunrise and ice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!! I am fascinated by those icicles!
ReplyDeleteEven a little bit of sunshine helps! But I must say that your B&W Winter shots are beautiful. A surprise to me, because I like color and sun and as a rule really hate cold. However you make it look magical.
ReplyDeleteYou've done it again!! The icicles are real gems...diamonds!! I love your gentle haiku!!! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lighting and colours! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe angle on those icicles looks wicked...great shot....have a great week♪
ReplyDeletejust gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the first shot and the icicles are very pretty. We have plenty of ice here too. Have a great Friday!
ReplyDeleteLovely looking through your lens this morning. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe gradual return of the light makes us long for it more and more! Happy frigid days to you! ;)
ReplyDeleteI like those sun rays in the fist picture and the b&w one. The icicles remind me of my chilhood... thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI so love these days when the light returns, little by little... it shines in all of your photos and words dear Carol! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful words..."nature's light returns". I can already notice it slightly.
ReplyDeleteLovely black and white images.
ReplyDeleteyes! i am already noticing the slow lengthening of days! love the approach of spring and time to dream on what will comprise the summer garden. thank you for your beautiful photograph and perfect haiku.
ReplyDeleteAre't the longer days wonderful!? I love it when the sun shines on these frigid days. Your pictures are lovely. Give Art Muse dog a pet from me.
