How glad I am -
I hoped for you before -
Put down your Hat -
You must have walked -
How out of Breath you are -
Dear March, how are you, and the Rest -
Did you leave Nature well -
Oh March, Come right upstairs with me -
I have so much to tell -

It snowed again last night.
ReplyDeleteI had to resort to Emily's words for comfort.
A wonderful Sunday to all of you,
Merisi
Merisi, I believe March is partial to green, so it was clever of you to temp him with the multiple green door. So inviting! I am sure, he won't be able to resist and will arrive soon, in 6 days at the latest.
ReplyDeleteMay your interpretation come true, Zosia! ;-)
DeleteI like your inner eyes to capture these beauties. I was born in March when the world is brightened up gradually from the pale wintry landscape.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit. I could reach this blog through “traffic sources.”

Welcome, and thank you, Yoko! :-)
DeleteLove the texture in the first shot and the whole feel of the composition.
ReplyDeleteThe walkway in the last one looks a bit scary. Button up the coat and don't slip...
The walkway leads to a very nice courtyard, Sue! ;-)
DeleteMy conductor brother is on Berlin/Leipzig for a few days and could report home: Snow. Winter.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a lovely, sunny weekend at the cabin. No snow. Lunch out in the terrace. Back home in Trondheim to winter though.......
Sounds as if you have moved south! ;-)
DeleteOh, I love that turquoise/green door -- especially in the first shot.
ReplyDeleteWe have been reduced to look at green painted doors, if we want to see some color. ;-)
DeleteThe iron gate comes out beautiful in the snow -fairy tale like:)
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful highlight of a not so grand contemporary passage way. ;-)
DeleteI have been thinking of you often today, looking at the trees in full bloom around here. I wish I could send you a large branch to cheer you up. March is almost here, and spring will come soon. I must tell you that your snow photo make me want to listen to Schubert's Winterreise.
ReplyDeleteSimona,
Deleteknowing that you were thinking of me makes for sweet comfort! *hugs*
Franz Schubert composed the first part of the "Winterreise" - "Winter Journey" - during the month of February 1827. Must have been just like the one we are suffering through this year. I heard this has been the dreariest winter in 50 years. No wonder I am climbing up walls in desperation! ;-)
I love the way you match a verse of poetry with your wonderful pictures, Merisi. March is nearly here and, hopefully, warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteLinda, thank you!
DeleteWhen all else fails, my favourite poets rush to the rescue. ;-)
Dazzling, Merisi.
