Invitation to Winter Wonder 17


When winter white blankets unfurl from the sky, a hush settles over the land. Photographers capture stilled wonders. Artists choose mediums and poets quietly blend words to accompany what is seen through the lens. Artistry in white is christened and moments in time frozen for all to witness.  


In the quiet of the winter season, I invite you to find nature's artistry during January and February, whether the earth is covered in white blankets or warmed by the sun's brilliance in your locale. 


Adults, students, and classes across the globe are

How many lessons of faith and beauty we should lose,
If there were no winter in our year!"
