the change of seasons

Fall pictures taken on November 14, 2012. Winter pictures taken on December 20, 2012.

It seems to me that it's never truly winter until the first snow. Before that I hold mercilessly onto any shred of autumn I can grab. Though I know winter is a good things coming (and it's not as if I don't like winter), I still want those crisp, much-anticipated days of fall to remain. I want to carry with me those warm hues of plumb, orange, deep red, mustard yellow, and chocolate brown.

But once the snow falls, or I simply wake up to a world of white, I truly feel that now I can let go of autumn; because now winter, in all her glory, is here. And now I'm ready for the bright reds, the crisp greens, and the bright whites; the days of snow crunching underfoot, faces chilled from the cold, and being bundled up in layers of warm clothes.

It snowed today. Welcome winter.

  2. AHHH you and your words and your photos are a breath of fresh air, haley. And this 'change of season' idea is SUCH a brilliant idea - I love it SO much.

    Your words ring true to my soul: 'And now I'm ready for the bright reds, the crisp greens, and the bright whites; the days of snow crunching underfoot, faces chilled from the cold, and being bundled up in layers of warm clothes.' Oh, my dear, THIS is beautiful.

  6. SNOW!!! Oh, you're so blessed! It hardly ever snows in Texas, but I'm clinging to some hope since their is a possibility of snow on Christmas! *Croses fingers* The last snow we had was a couple years ago so it's been awhile since I've been able to play with the white fluffy stuff. :)
