What a lovely post, Brad. I’ve begun to really treasure this time of year like never before. Your image sets the mood for quiet …. just so beautiful! The walks I have been taking among a bare forest have so restored my spirit … so quiet, serene, and so majestic they are. Now when the snow falls snowmobiles will be out that way, so I am enjoying the quiet now while it lasts. Ah, yes, t’is the season for retrospection. ❤
Wonderful Amy. I’m so glad you have been enjoying the beauty and peace of nature. I love the quiet and time to reflect too. I would like some more time in the woods myself. Thanks for the reminder of how restorative it can be. Happy reflecting!
I love those precious and fleeting moments of beauty that occur as the sun sets. You have captured the emotion perfectly, with both evocative words and a beautiful image. Thanks for sharing, Brad 🙂
I feel you Peace in Winter’s rest.. and that picture so beautiful as your snow on your blog floated down making it come alive…
Be Blessed my friend.. Much love your way.. Sue 🙂
Thanks Sue. I am finally settling into peace and enjoying my new home in the woods. And yes, the snow does add a nice touch to the photos. 🙂 may we be beacons of peace.
That is really good to hear… and I think dear Brad, when we understand that is why we came.. To be beacons of peace.. It often takes us through our own storms before we find in our centres/eye the peace was always at our core.. We just needed to settle within ourselves to find it.. 🙂
this is very beautiful, lovely photograph.

Thank you Dave. Watching sunsets was a ritual for me years ago. Maybe I’ll get back to it now that I can see them again.
