Beauty in the snow

There is something incredibly beautiful about fresh snow. It's peaceful in its perfection.

When out walking, it feels like no one has ever been on that path before. It feels like you are an adventurer discovering new places.

I had two moments on my winter wonderland holiday, both were mine and both were beautiful.

Here is the first. It is my steps from a few days ago. There were no others for miles around.

If I am honest, I find walking on frozen lakes very scary, despite its obvious safety given the temperatures, yet it's the unknown. Yet walking on frozen lakes is a wonderful experience, as you know that beneath you is a depth. Solid and strong, yet scarily fragile.

It's the feeling of purity. The feeling of breaking into new territories.

Walking on fresh snow is a moment of silence and a moment of serenity.


Then there was moment two. Snowshoeing in the woods behind the cottage. This was a real 'moment" and also a shared moment. I could not stop saying how beautiful everything was.
My buddy felt the same.

These moments belonged to me.

Beauty in snow.

Two moments to treasure.
