At Faith Barista: *Today’s Thursday 1/30/14 Writing prompt:
Photo Journal Your Heart. How has God been touching your heart this month? Share what you see.
It has been a bitterly cold and snowy January, here in Ohio. Some people dislike the winter months, saying that everything looks dead. They don’t like the cold and snow and can’t wait for the warmth of Spring. I am not one of those people, I embrace Winter. Winter is a time to rest, rejuvenate, and prepare for the months ahead. To everything there is a season.

My morning view
A cold January with beautiful sunrises
Even the stark branches are beautiful
The quiet stillness that snow brings
Good Morning!
Trekking to church on challenging winter roads.
I love watching winter sunrises, the colors are incredible!
A snowy month
It Just Dawned On Me 
So beautiful! We rarely get snow so I love seeing these pictures. We have gotten cold temps this year though in Alabama. We’re freezing down here. ha. Thanks for sharing your lovely views, Dawn.
Hi Dawn ~
I am visiting from Faith Barista. I admit I am one of ‘those people’ that you mentioned – a non-winter lover. Winter’s saving grace is that it brings spring.
Beautiful pictures!
Blessings ~ Dorothy
ps ~ love the title of your blog!
Beautiful pictures of your corner of the world. Love your country views…..and sunrise! Yes! Blessings to you.
Visiting from Faith Barista… Thanks for sharing these snowscapes, Dawn. I especially love the sunrises and your “Lassie.” 🙂
There is beauty in every season if we take the time to look. Gorgeous photos. 🙂

almost looks like home, here
though our snow is deeper
temps even colder
and the season lasts longer
will be in Ohio visiting family mid-February
shall think of you 🙂
I so enjoy everyone posting winter snow pictures. I just love the scenery and captures. I do agree that winter is the time to rest up, refresh, and ready for what’s ahead. This is so good Dawn.
Dawn, I love the pictures and the way you love and describe cold winters. I used to love winter when it snowed. My favorite time was walking outside just as a big snow ended. When it stopped, and I wandered outside the peace and stillness was wonderful. Not a sound. Nothing moved. All you could hear was the silence. I miss it so much.
I hope we’ll have snow in heaven. I’d like regular snows without sidewalks or driveways to shovel.
