A Winter Landscape
Heavy snowfalls had come during the night, to cover the rolling hills and the pastures beyond
Daybreak came slowly but surely to reveal the serene beauty of a winter landscape
The snow had stopped falling but was here to stay or so it seemed
Nature had still to wake up so early in the morning
The ominous heavy skies had drifted away to be replaced by a picture of light blue
The air was crisp and still
Still nothing was moving on the shortest day of the year
The night fell as surely as day had come on this winter landscape
