Treasures from the Winter Realm of Narnia

* Disclaimer: Those sons of Adam or daughters of Eve awaiting the arrival of spring will not find it here in this realm. This is a flower-free zone. Lion-free as well, for it's not March just yet, at any rate! *

Due to a recent ice storm, all the trees in Narnia remained frozen solid and encased in ice or snow for two straight days. The ice took on a pleasing appearance of glittering silvery crystal.

The sun rose as though lighting a giant ice sparkler.

Another view of that same dawn from farther back.

Feathery snow-laden branches under a noonday sky of refreshing blue.

Enjoy the beauty of the season!

Silver trees covered with frosts, leaves of ice, and sunny but frigid-looking sky, are breathtaking! They look like silvery white blossoms in full bloom. This is a special gift of winter.

Absolutely stunning! Your photos are wonderful. I drove through a similar crystal forest on Friday (about a 20 mile stretch.) So breathtaking. I figured there would be ice on the trees at my destination so I didn't stop for a photo. When i got to to where I was going, there was no ice. You got the photos I was hoping to get!

First when I saw the pictures, I thought-white flowers, the second glance and reading what you wrote, depived me of this nice feeling of spring:)

Although I'm glad to see the snow and ice go, these photos capture the best of the sparkling beauty!

I just found you on Michelle's blog, and I'm glad I did.

Wooooow - how beautiful - thanks for sharing!

As a Norwegian, I have no problem enjoying the season and felt just like home looking at these photos you know :-)

Thank you for your concern. Safe and sound all round for my family, but I’m so sad to think about those who are suffering losses in that region. I feel powerless in front of huge energy of nature.

Have wonderful days.

Tracy said...

I've been thinking about you...you okay?

stardust said...

Though I myself have been quite inactive, I haven't seen you for a while. I hope you are fine, just busy getting things done. Take care.

Allison said...

Have missed you, Country Corner. I hope you are well. xoxo
