All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost:
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
(Tolkein)
I remembered this today, walking up into the woods. In town, it was simply dull and grey in the freezing fog. But only a hundred feet higher lay a different world. Here's to stepping out and beyond, and to deep roots for us all ... x
It's amazing how a different sense of place can change your perspective. Loving your beautiful words and images, as usual!

Gorgeous photos Alexa! Things here are very dull and grey and we've been lucky so far to not have much really bad weather.

Such beautiful photos. I was going to say that we don't have anything quite so pretty here...but maybe it's simply that we don't have your eyes..

Absolutely lovely---the photos and the words. I wish my command of poetry was such that I'd have these kinds of associations.

The photos and the poem are making music and magic together.

Glorious photos - the sun shining through or glinting off of frost is such a pretty sight. Well worth venturing outside for.
