"The shortest day has passed, and whatever nastiness of weather we may look forward to in January and February, at least we notice that the days are getting longer. Minute by minute they lengthen out. It takes some weeks before we become aware of the change. It is imperceptible even as the growth of a child, as you watch it day by day, until the moment comes when with a start of delighted surprise we realize that we can stay out of doors in a twilight lasting for another quarter of a precious hour." - Vita Sackville-West

I love that first image. That little form is wonderful!!! Where did you find her?
I am trying to get into some sort of groove, and it's not so easy, yet.
Love and hugs to you and I hope you have a wonderful afternoon.

I absolutely love the light and the shadows of winter and enjoyed looking at these photos.
Lorraine, I bought this iron lady years ago and it will hold a candle. I like her...
Lynn and Pienosole, thank you...
I so love that iron doll! She looks Spanish to me--maybe it is just the iron work? Days are getting longer--YAY for that--more light.
My goodness I love your photos, you capture such beauty. So happy you share your life.
Happy Day friend.
Lucky you, you have sunshine streaming in your window. Such a pleasure to see.
Judy, Friko and Sandy, :)
Such exquisite images, Ernestine!
