To celebrate the Winter season, we’ve collected some of the most inspiring “Winter” photos ever posted here on our page in three years.

An icy driveway to Debra Clark’s place. See the spiral?

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
to watch his woods fill up with snow…
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
but I have promises to keep, and
miles to go before I sleep, and
miles to go before I sleep.

“We are given memories so that we might have roses in December.”
–   J. M. Barrie

Jeannie Rhodes’s snowy garden bed. Were there really flowers here?

Frosty-white and cold it lies
Underneath the fretful skies;
Snowflakes flutter where the red
Banners of the poppies spread,
And the drifts are wide and deep
Where the lilies fell asleep.

Susie Blair captures a fiery Winter sunset

A Winter Sunset
The frosty sky, like a furnace burning,
The keen air, crisp and cold,
And a sunset that splashes the clouds with gold
But my heart to summer turning.

Marie Niemann’s rust and snow. Looks good, huh?

“December’s wintery breath is already clouding the pond, frosting the pane, obscuring summer’s memory…”

Connie Dee Schnecker’s fairy garden, crystalline white in Winter. She says, These hens & chicks live through the coldest of winters!”

In a few blinks you can almost see the winter fairies moving in . . .
But first, you hear the crackle of their wings.”
― Vera Nazarian

Walking Darby Miller’s path requires a warm and cozy wool scarf.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Is your garden as attractive in the snow as it is in the summer? Four tips!

Cathy Wanderaas,…”My swing set arbor clothed in frosty attire.”

TIP #1 – Make your winter garden visible from inside your house.

Debra Clark noticed the frosty designs on her cultivator wheels in this excellent Wintery photograph

TIP #2 – Put your winter garden close enough to your house to see the details of it from inside.

Linda Gladman’s Winter bicycle vignette. She says, “We woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland this morning … a wooden birdhouse cat hangs from the arbor”

TIP #3 – Emphasize the areas that you walk through in the winter.
