Slippery Slope

The wind howls, trees sway and branches creak Across frozen, snow covered ground Where ice merges all around As if life has now found A slippery slope On which to cope While watching The sun Set Heidi Sands 1/15/22

Heidi, Wherever there's uneven ground or water covered rock. So thankful to find the end of tall days and brilliant sunsets shared. -Richard

Heidi, you've created a stunning winter landscape here! Nature makes the frozen scenes that you describe alleviate the anguish of stormy weather.

Winds are blowing--getting ready with advanced warning of tomorrow's approaching storm. Nature paints those frozen themes that you describe to ease the pain of storms. Stay safe, Heidi.
