Winter can be spectacularly beautiful. It can be fun and playful. It can be long and dreary. It can be charming and cozy. It can be a lot of work. Sometimes it can even be surprising.

But these days, to me, winter is best seen from the inside out. So, this year I will be offering winter photos taken from toasty-warm places. I see no need to interact with the elements if it can be avoided.
Stay tuned for additional shots of winter from the inside out.

The tips of a wind sculpture
This takes a bit of explanation. After a hard rain, I looked out the window from my reading chair and saw this pattern repeated across the entire window. It looked like an apple or a heart. Once would have been an unusual phenomenon but how could this be repeated in so many places? It took me a few minutes to realize that it occurred where we had placed, then removed, some reflective butterfly decals to protect birds from flying into the window. A fun little mystery solved.
Wonderful photos! I love the screen door and the fire shots.
