    ...I love the beach scene. In January beaches along Lake Ontario looked like this, now there's 2 feet of snow. Take care and stay warm.

    Beautiful photograph, and I love the Wyeth quote. I will add to what he says by saying that one has a lot less people to share nature with in the winter. Which is a big plus for me.

      Agreed. Only a few people show up at the beach in the winter. Mostly people are taking their dogs to the dog park. I am interrupted with the view when folks happen along. Covid-19 has changed us. Quietly they walk by. Before they would speak or at least return your hello. Adapt to the changes. And so it is. Have a nice week end. Be safe.

    It satisfies my soul to walk alongside water. How about you?

      Agreed. My soul calls to me and then I head for Lake Michigan. It is my favorite spot in the whole wide world. My heart sings when I head home. I choose joy every day. And so it is.

    Wow Joyce, I love this quote which I haven’t ever seen before but is so appropriate... I like seeing the “bones” of trees in the Winter and have mentioned that I actually miss that when we’re in Florida. (We are seeing plenty of tree bones here in Oregon this winter!)

    I adore Andrew Wyeth's painting Christina's World. It shouldn't surprise me that he made an observation like the quote you used. Your landscape perfectly shows the truth of that quote.

      I am seeing plenty of tree "bones" in Illinois every winter. It is frigid here right now. Going down to 6 above zero Sunday. Snow is coming this week end. Alana, be safe.

    lovely scene. I don't have much possibility to walk on beach in winter, but wouldn't mind doing so, well dressed ;-).

      Klara, I live about a mile from Lake Michigan. I have plenty of opportunities to go to the beach. If I choose. I am blessed. I watch the lake weekly sometimes daily. I used to walk there and back. I used to bike there and back. Now, I am a caregiver so my time is very short. I make time after an errand. Nature makes my heart sing and touches my soul.
