Sometimes I have to go outside to breathe the air and change my perspective if I've been inside for too long. But it's on the long walks that you start noticing a bud here, a birdsong there... Except here there's no snow and enormous amounts of mud. Makes taking the dog for a run a challenge ;-) Enjoy your strolls and crisp Feb air ... and don't let the river monster get you!<br /><br />Your photos are sublime but I ADORE the first one for the blue...Angehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02255310309447767848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-84018432172638066882010-02-07T06:31:30.086-05:002010-02-07T06:31:30.086-05:00I loved reading this!

You are right about January being a month of recovery-I also see it as a month of endurance and survival-I manage to do just enough to keep the essential things going but cannot manage anything extra. With February I can feel my energy slowly returning. <br />I love the beautiful pictures of the lacy ice.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941415622199071141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-39681837437875657712010-02-04T13:55:46.065-05:002010-02-04T13:55:46.065-05:00AMAZING photos!!!AMAZING photos!!!Fifi Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186646442542919342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-4794396981719470022010-02-04T13:10:32.043-05:002010-02-04T13:10:32.043-05:00Gigi...oh my friend...where to start....beautifull...Gigi...oh my friend...where to start....beautifully written..<br /><br />"piecrust edge of ice" (swoon...swoon)<br /><br />"delicate as a bit of Valentine Lace" (double swoon...again)<br /><br />you have the gift, my dearMy Farmhouse Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00594238190107766755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-36509290280809248762010-02-04T10:58:56.179-05:002010-02-04T10:58:56.179-05:00Oh, my god, what writing (not to mention the photo...Oh, my god, what writing (not to mention the photos)!

And it is accurate -- standing beside a frozen river during this month, one can hear the monster down there, just beginning to stir!
