In Texas, if you have a garden with flowers you have to have Pansies in the winter...It's the LAW!!  :P

I took these pics today......its at a lagoon in a big park in my town.....we often take our grandkids to "feed the ducks"....we used to take our own kids here, many years ago......

Not sure if you have these birds over there.....our black swans, which are actually the sympbol for Western Australia (Heath's home state)....and pelicans.......

They are all quite tame here at the lagoon, and fly in when someone is there with some bread for them to eat....
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

Nice to see these pics with lots of snow on the ground where I am!! I made a short trip outside today to admire the Christmas lights that my husband put up and the full moon.

More about the Columbine connection to the dove: From The Once and Future Goddess, "Christians later adopted the dove as a sign of the Holy Ghost, but originally the bird stood for Sophia, God's female soul." The dove was also the emblem of Aphrodite/Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, during Greek and Roman times.

It was a gloriously wrong day today in New England, reaching 69 sunny degrees F in Boston.  Wild sloths could not have kept me indoors.  I threw on T-shirt, shorts and sandals and spent the day hiking around first toward Jamaica Pond then at Stonybrook Reservation. 

These pictures were loaded up to Phillip's new find DivShare, then I copied and pasted the fullsize .jpg name, clicked on the picture button here and edited 'img' to 'img width=700' since I prefer them just to display at full width, as opposed to having to click on a thumbnail.

You posted that picture of winter trees and clear sky in the right topic, Jess, if you wanted someone who appreciated simplicity to see it.  This is the thread the Quaker made.
