Mono Monday - Winter

The landscape is bare and runs with a chill,
Glimmers of light kiss the grasses,
Frozen droplets grace our fences,
Storms and thunder rumble through,
And icy puddles are here to stay.
 
Curtains are drawn,
Leaves have fallen,
Long summer days are in a haze,
Cold menacing clouds swirl through the sky,
Jack Frost is here, more often than not.
 
We shake and shiver in the wind,
Seek out the sun to warm our bones,
Light cosy fires to hug at night,
Sip mulled wine, spicy and fragrant,
On these short winter days.....here in the South.

Kindly hosted by irunlykagirl, with an interesting set of themes for July, certainly will be challenging at times.

This shot was taken mid-morning when the temperature was 5C, many clouds were rolling by and the sun not quite so prominent, the breeze was rather fresh.

Happy Monday everyone :)
