IT'S THE SNOW THAT I LOVE BEST

Born and raised in Florida, I've experienced enough heat and humidity to last me a lifetime. And now that I live in "God's country" (Colorado) I just love hiking and playing in the snow!

IT'S THE SNOW THAT I LOVE BEST

Hiking trails in every season

Breathing air of lodge pole pine

Watching critters misbehaving

Seeing magpie come to dine

 

Nothing quite revives my spirit

Like these mountains, streams and caves

Just when life seems void of merit

It's these mountains that I crave

 

In the spring or fall or summer

Living here makes my heart sing  

But when winter struts her magic

Everything is rearranged

 

Not to worry, fret or whimper

When the trees are white in dress

Mother nature sends her blessings…

It's the snow I love the best

Really nice images you've pened. But I have to confess snow and ice is one of the reasons I moved from Jersey to Vegas. I like it enough to visit Mt. Carleston. But I'm always glad to come home to our 60 degree weather.
As always a delightful read.

Thanks for a very nice review kind sir! Everyone has different taste and likes. Perhaps that's why God created so much diversity in this wonderful world! ~Sharon

A very good-feel poem. Yes, I find great solace in nature too.

Thank you very much Jacob for your kind remarks! Yes...snow IS indeed beautiful. Where we live we don't get a ton of snow and it is just enough to get out and have fun in. Would you believe I snowshoe on the golf course? The natural hills there are a nice challenge on snowshoes. ~SP

Thanks so much Ron! Your place sounds wonderful. I can see the mountains from my backyard...even one of our 14,000 foot mountains named after Mr. Long....Longs Peak. But it's a 45 minute drive to get there. I envy you! ~Sharon
