The first of December ~

...a chilly start to the first day of December ~

frost sparkled on the ground this morning,

~ making everything look dusted & glittered.

December is a favorite month of mine...

I love the Winter months best.

~ there is something about the stillness,

the quietness that comes from cold weather ~ 

...everything seems more intense...

the colors seem sharper and the scents seem stronger, 

imprinting us with lasting Holiday memories.

Here are a few snaps for you

of my surroundings this cold December morning...

enjoy your day my Friends!
