Winter Solstice. It's today!

Did you know it's Winter Solstice today?  It's been very difficult to find those "white winter" photos this year.  I have found a few photos that give me that slow, calm and quiet feeling that help explain what "Winter Solstice" means to me.  Winter in Michigan is normally quite dark and cold. These photos are about the stillness I have found outside after a soft cold drizzle.  Despite not seeing the beautiful white snow this Christmas, I still think these photos are great examples of winter beauty.

Whew...now our days will get a bit longer each day.
