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
