    Your photos are cold but your haiku is warm. I am trying to think warm right now. I hope you have warm toes.

    I know the winter cold can seem to last forever there but your snow photos make this girl a bit wistful. We have had a VERY mild winter in East Texas and I feel a little cheated! The normal rhythm of the seasons is so comforting to me, even the longing for warmer weather that comes about as winter settles in. We have barely even used our coats this year...just doesn't feel right!

    Beautiful pictures - where most of the UK has had snow, we down in the west have escaped. It's unfortunate for the children who would love some but as you say, now into February we are thinking of Spring and the new life it breaths.

    For being the shortest month, February does seem to go on for a long time while we wait for spring. I love the shot of the bird on the gate.

    Oh my how some of these shots really convey the cold!
    I couldn't be a duck. One look at that icy water and I'd have to turn away.
    LOVE that big old house in the last shot!
