Winter Vista

Some of the most beautiful colours
perhaps, I have ever seen 
Reflections in our local pond
creates this amazing scene 

The birds look so fabulous 
against this winter vista delight 
A fleeting moment in time 
too quickly disappears out of sight

All Is Silent

Frozen landscapes below
and fiery skies above
Winter in all it’s bleak beauty 
what’s there not to love

All is silent, all is still 
across the frosted fields  
The stage has been set 
nature’s wintry tale is revealed

Spectacular Show

Scenes from a beautiful frosty weekend
barren trees are coated with a thick crust 
The frozen ground still solid underfoot 
camouflaged by the white glistening dust 

Overlooking the partly frozen lake
The sky blushes in shades of dusky rose 
A sight that is hard to describe with words 
one of nature’s most spectacular shows

Elegant Grace

The cool sun rises in the east
too distant to warm up the air
Breath is exhaled as wisps of smoke
from nostrils of this gentle mare

The early day feels brisk and fresh
engulfed by winter’s cold embrace 
A calm and serene morning scene
full of nature’s elegant grace

Perfect Yorkshire Days

Every surface bejewelled
with a glistening frosty sheen
The sun sitting upon it’s throne
reigning over this cold, crisp scene 

Perfect for winter Yorkshire walks
are perfect Yorkshire days like this 
So grab your coat, scarf and gloves 
it’s simply too wonderful to miss

What A Belter

I absolutely adore
the silhouette of this tree
A magical winter scene 
guaranteed to delight me  

Like a giant earth coral
rising from the depths below
Backdropped by the rising sun
and it’s misty golden glow

For creatures that call it home
it provides food and shelter 
This safe haven for wildlife 
certainly is a belter

Winter Spirit

The most beautiful crisp wintry mornings 
are upon us once again to delight 
In the crystal clear sky the rising sun
takes centre stage shining so bold and bright

The surroundings glisten with heavy frost
creating a sparkling wonderland sight
It’s like the winter spirit visited 
scattering tiny jewels over night

Darkness Doesn’t Last Forever

At this time of year it’s dark
when I go to work there is no light 
And when I return home again
it’s as black as a moonless night

I’m grateful for the weekends
when I pause for moments of pleasure 
A sunrise to remind me 
that darkness doesn’t last forever

Small Victory

The sun rising showing who is the boss
it feels there has been a small victory 
Golden rays dominating the grey clouds
I must admit, it is a win for me

Wintry Morning

A wintry morning
beautiful, brilliant, brisk and bright
First sun rays on the horizon 
brings honey coloured light 

Silhouettes of local ducks
busying themselves away 
As they prepare to welcome 
this brand new start of the day
