When I Think Of Winter

Sometimes around this time of year, when winter seems to be dragging on and on, we just need to be reminded of all the beauty that surrounds us. I know for where I am, we’re unlikely to see hints of spring poking its nose through for another 6 or 7 weeks. So why not embrace all the loveliness that winter has to offer us? Perhaps I’m blinded by my love of the season (I’ve never been one of those people who counts down the days until sunshiney weather) but I can’t help but swoon over icicles hanging off the porch, or snowflakes getting caught in the window screens. In those moments before they’re disturbed by snowploughs and passing cars, they hold such a pristine and almost angelic beauty.

I ♥ A Collection A Day

I stumbled upon A Collection A Day, 2010 around the beginning of this year when the web was flooded when many-a new yearly projects. And while most were gearing up for their participation in Project 365 or Grace in Small Things among many other challenges, illustrator Lisa Congdon planned to undergo a slightly different task in 2010. She created a blog, A Collection A Day, in which she plans to post a photograph of one of her numerous collections each day for the entire year!i About this undertaking, she explains, “I am embarking on this project because I love my collections, and I want to document [...]  and share them with whoever might be interested in looking at them.” And interested, I am!

And my heart forebodes that soon it will pass away for ever.”
