If it were possible to fall in love with a morning,
then I would choose this morning
and we would run away together and have beautiful frost children
that twinkled wherever they roamed.
This week’s theme for The Gallery at Sticky Fingers is “Nature”. This is a photo I took last winter on a morning when I really did feel in love with the world. There was blue sky, sunshine and a hoar frost that coated, not just every tree, but every twig of every branch of every tree (and everything else besides) in a beautiful, sparkly coating. I was awestruck and wandered around in a bit of a daze. Nature can be utterly beguiling.
Such a lovely scene, and lovely words too.
Thanks Helen, I wish there were more mornings like that!
Ah… but you can’t choose who / what you fall in love with – that’s the mystery of it!
Oh – meant to say lovely poem, too – short but very sweet!
True, David, love does rather pounce on us all! And I’m glad you like the poem although I’m not sure I even realised it was a poem… just a musing that didn’t look right as a single line of prose. Although, I suppose that is kind of what a poem is. You’re making me think this morning!
I love frosty mornings like this. Much nicer than grey and wet ones.
I agree, Mirka! Thanks for commenting.
Fabulous capture, just love frost when it’s like that – even more so against that wonderful blue sky! Lovely poem too
Thanks Charly, it was such a beautiful day. If we get another frost like that (they’re surprisingly rare) I’m going to try and take more photos!
Beautiful photo, sparkly frost against a blue sky is wonderful. Lovely words too.
Thanks Sara, blue skies seem to enhance any scene of nature!
That is a stunning photo. We have lots of days like that in Canada, frosty or just after snow when the sky is that vivid blue, nature at her best!
Ooh canada – we had our honeymoon there! It’s stunning! Thanks Lou.
Delicate beauty. Love your words and how you get over a mood
Thanks Kate, the words came to me as I stood there trying to take it all in – true love!
Ohh…How I hate the cold winter weather. I just wish it was summer every day!
I hope this weather gets better not worse.

I love all the seasons because they’re all beautiful in different ways. But on a foul winters day I do long for summer!
Lovely photo, I like the idea of frost children
Thanks! I think frost children would be very pretty and never get covered in mud or snot or food like real ones do!
Beautiful photo, love a Narnia scene – so fresh and crisp!x
It is a bit Narnian isn’t it? I just need a one-armed lamp post!
What a beautiful photo, and words to match x

Thank you!
Where have you been hiding this talent, maddy? I can’t believe that you’ve been secretly creating amidst everything else going on in your life – and i’m a little bit awe struck! Very impressive.
Martha says: it is quite good but quite impressive too.
(she typed that bit herself!)
Impressive typing from Martha! Thanks Anna, I quite like the idea that I’ve been ‘secretly creating’! No need to feel awestruck but I appreciate the compliment! I love writing so much that it finds time for itself amidst everything else. Xxx
