When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy ~Rumi
It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it ~John Burroughs
What keeps earth air breathable? Not oxygen alone. The earth is a freer place to breathe in, every time you love without calculating a return — every time you make your drudgeries and routines still more inefficient by stopping to experience the shock of beauty wherever it unpredictably flickers ~ Peter Viereck

THE most stunningly beautiful photos, Rupali!
You’ve captured the uniqueness of winter!
Your choice of quotes are always so inspiring!
That Rumi quote is one that I think of…and remind myself that whatever is going on the river within us can flow freely, powerfully.

Such stunning photography Rupali! I often think I would like to live in a snowy climate, or at least spend quite some time. I am not so sure how the reality would actually suit me. We had such cold nights and days here recently considering it is the middle of summer, temps as low as 5dC /41dF overnight and 12dC/53dF on Saturday! Very bizarre. At least with all the wind we have had some rain which has put more water in my rain tanks.
Your photos seem to create a magical scene for my Aussie eyes.

That is really cold for a summer day. I am sure rain will help your garden and the chickens will get many insects to enjoy. Take care.

Beautiful moments from your walk! I don’t know if it feels like that while walking out in the ❄️🥶 but from where I am, it provides such a comfortable sight to view, we don’t see any snow right? The last time we saw a lot of snow was in an artificial snow park in Hyderabad 😁
