we never know where or when we will encounter beauty
“We do well to find out, each day, gradually, what we love; to put in brackets all the prejudices, pressures, opinions, authorities; to let the experience of beauty come to us; and to receive it in all its intensity and truth, without anyone having to tell us what we must like or not; to have the courage to say what touches us – if not to others, at least to ourselves.”
– Piero Ferrucci, in Beauty and the Soul
i like this quote. and, as always, the photos:)
i don’t quite know how ~
but you have literally captured all the elements of snow for me ~ the quietness
the freshness
the cold
the shades of white ~
and the quotation is wonderful.

Exquisite scenes of winter. Love the detail here..the simplicity!
Mmmmm.
As always, mmmmmmm.
These snow images speak so much the beauty of winter, Elizabeth… LOVELY words today. Beauty blesses us unexpectedly sometimes. :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))
I would love to use that quote if I get the opportunity to teach the contemplative photography class later this week (not sure yet it’s going to happen)… love the snow!!
