Simple Winter



Once you go away from something for a long time, it is hard to get back. I have not been photographing much, not writing much and definitely not blogging much. Few days ago I decided to dig out my old lens 75-300mm and got motivated again. In addition, temperatures got little warmer, therefore, I was able to go for winter walks again. Now, the opposite is that I started to be in bed earlier more regularly, and getting much more deeper sleeps. Matthew is now older, and sleeps through the night, but will definitely not let you sleep in the morning. 'Wake up Mommy! Matthew wants to play toys downstairs' - he usually yells, and he does not have the snooze button on him.

He is growing really fast, and this year is the year of gaining more independence. It is not like we push him to do things, he wants to do it himself. In May he will turn three. Deep inside every year I miss the year before, but every year I love him more and more. What am I going to do when he goes to school? He is now eager to learn how to read. He can very well spell DAD and MOM (it is so much fun to watch him think). Memorizes 4 line verses and with his little finger points on the words and pretends to read.

About the photo. Its a pile of snow on my backyard that looked kind attractive. This also reminded me about this quote I read once by Anonymous author, 'Snowflakes are one of nature’s most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together.' Enjoy, and glad to be back to share my photography, my life and my thoughts again.
