Christmas Eve in Sweden

Posted on by Hanna

One shade of blue for water, one for ice,
Another blue for shadows over snow.
The clear or cloudy sky uses blue twice-
Both different blues. And hills row after row
Are colored blue according to how far.
You know the bluejay’s double-blur device
Shows best when there are no green leaves to show.
And Sirius is a winterbluegreen star.
Blue Winter by Robert Francis

    • Thanks a lot, Richard. It’s always a pleasure to find motives in nature because you have to go out and search for them. The same goes with poetry 🙂
      The Christmas was a lovely event worth remembering.
      I wish you a wonderful New Year too!!!

    • Thanks a lot for your lovely words, Stefan!!!
      I find the mood important because of the feast or the celebration, if you like. The bright crack in the clouds to the north is almost symbolic of the Bethlehem ⭐
      Though the lovely thing about pictures is that you can interpret them as you like.
      I wish you lots of happiness in 2019.
      All the best,
      Hanna
