It is -17 degrees celsius here today at 6am. I have to take my dog for a walk everyday, usually I am thrilled to be outside. However today a little less so. Even so, as I wander out bundled and wrapped so much that I can hardly walk, I still see the beauty in our surroundings. The colors and textures that are out there are truly amazing and varied. There are all shades of greens in the evergreens, spruce and fir forests here in Aspen, CO. The textures of the grasses, cones and branches are really truly diverse and beautiful. I cannot believe how many shades of beige and brown there are. And the new fallen snow is so pretty and powdered sugar like, you want to eat it. I need to go make a winter arrangement. So thank you Rosie for needing a walk so that I can see all of this beauty even on a -17 day here in the Rocky Mountains !
