Winter is hard on me, Dinah, but it can still be incredibly beautiful. I love my bedroom window overlooking our back yard & the small greenbelt behind our place. In winter, the trees are bare & the beauty of their fractal design is accentuated by the dark trunks against a pale sky. The scene looks diff from morning light to late afternoon light. When the sun shines on them, some are silver coloured, others a golden brown. I could stare at them for hours.
The little winter birds that come on my deck for seeds I scatter entertain me too. The swooshing of the wind through tall Douglas firs is soothing & relaxing. There's a road of couple of miles away that winds through a thickly forested area. In winter, the trees drip with moisture & fog curls through the trees & mossy undergrowth. I can almost see a cloaked & hooded rider wandering through forest paths of a dark horse. It's the stuff of myth. No wonder many films are shot around the Vancouver area. It's been called Hollywood North.
Like you, I prefer muted scenes & colours. No neon bright sunsets for me. I like the softer purple, pinks, & violet ones with a bit of gold outlining the clouds. The perfect garden isn't a riot of colour but subtle shades of green, browns, & grey with flowers being secondary points of colours. No bright outrageous colours either, but blues, purples, whites & oinks with only occasional reds & lemon yellows. You'd like my garden - calming, not bright.
I felt giddy today. We got up to 12 C & bright & sunny. I've only worn a coat a couple of times this winter & never boots. Today, I didn't even bother with a sweater.
