Spring permeates into winter….
Winter seems to be cold and still, but it has considerable energy inside it and waits for spring to come.When spring begins to seep into winter, the inherent energy changes into the energy of spring. As the frozen ground slowly melts, sprouts of life begin to emerge, and the wind
Storm Season: The Angry Ocean
In winter, beaches in the Pacific Northwest aren’t for the faint of heart. The coastal line in Washington State is rough, much of it is pebbles or dark sand, and the water is cold. The stretches between the beaches are rocky headlands, with high cliffs and forests running almost into
Transition
A change of season is often a transition from slightly warm to warm to slightly cold then slightly cold to cold to slightly warm again. That is in the South Island of New Zealand where we do have four seasons but not the extreme levels of heat or snow in
Along the Margin of Sea and Sand
Janine Ibbini. Revealed Quilts. Change of Season As in other parts of the Earth, there’s really only two seasons in the UAE, summer and winter. Its winter now and I can’t think of a better place to be. I love the cooler days when we can stay out doors for
AND HE STANDS ALONE, WAITING
I have followed the life and near death of this Oak, watching as HE ages – his old tree bark changes colour, the leaves come and go, and the arrival of the many woodpeckers and squirrels who arrive to be with the Oak, remind us to watch the old tree
Snow, Paint and Cloth
I don’t really like snow or should I say winter in general. Growing up in Niagara Falls Canada, we celebrate winter with the Festival of Lights. Queen Victoria Park is decorated with over one million lights. Lights in the trees, on the buildings and even the Falls themselves take on
Winter Cold
Winter Cold It’s a great honour to choose a theme. Above all, it is very exciting to see what everyone has done with the theme. Like I said, I didn’t want to make it too difficult. Hence my choice “change of season”. There is another reason for the choice. I worked
Last Hurrah
Karol KusmaulWe don’t get much distinct seasonal change here in Florida, especially the further south you are. It stays pretty green here year round. Some of us miss the seasons, and enjoy visiting places where it snows in winter and the leaves change in the fall. When we received the
Flowers that call for summer
I was born in a town at the foot of Mt. Fuji, one of Japan’s most iconic mountains. The mountains are covered with snow in winter. In the spring, the snow melts and seeps underground, and in early summer, it flows into my home town as a beautiful stream. In
Season of Darkness, Season of Sight
I dedicated my quilt to an artist friend who is blind.
Scribbly Note to Self
When I wrote in Musings, I talked about the subtlety, indeed, sometimes absence, of a change of season within my climate – southern hemisphere, arid, dry, long hot summers and short winters. It is not that I was lying, more that I was discussing the averages, the normal, the usual.
Japan’s four seasons
4-4 chang of season Japan has distinct seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In addition, the long terrain from north to south shows the scenery of different seasons in each region. The changing seasons create a rhythm in our lives. However, nature can sometimes be severe and threatening, such
