A Walk In the Winter Woods In Michigan

Photo property of Plants Amaze Me.

Here is one last glimpse of real winter for you before we move on to primarily spring posts. :-) I lived a good deal of my youth and young adult years in Michigan. Although I'm happy to live in Texas now where we have less winter, these pictures are still beautiful and nostalgic to me. The winter woods have a beauty and a feel all their own. I hope you enjoy the photos, and leave "Plants Amaze Me" a nice comment too if you like. :-)

Two Walks On A Snowy Day

And just because...here's a poem by Robert Frost (such an appropriate name to go with this poem). :-)

Stopping By Woods on A Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.   

His house is in the village though;   

He will not see me stopping here   

To watch his woods fill up with snow.   

My little horse must think it queer   

To stop without a farmhouse near   

Between the woods and frozen lake   

The darkest evening of the year.   

He gives his harness bells a shake   

To ask if there is some mistake.   

The only other sound’s the sweep   

Of easy wind and downy flake.   

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   

But I have promises to keep,   

And miles to go before I sleep,   

And miles to go before I sleep.
