Happy Holidays!

Talena Winters

The kids are on school break. I'm finishing up an assignment for Move Up Magazine, then will be spending any other writing time on the home stretch of my first draft of Finding Heaven, plus a couple of newsletters I'm overdue on. I'll appear on Facebook and Instagram occasionally, but what I'm trying to say is, I'm taking a short break from blogging until the new year.

Yep, it's time to hibernate.

I hope that you have a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year, friends! God bless us, every one. :-)

The Peace River just before freeze-up, captured on a frosty -31 C morning (December 9, 2016.)

In the time it took to capture this, my exposed camera hand got very very cold. No wonder, at -31C! But sharing beauty like this with you is worth a few chilly fingers. . View of the Peace River from the East Bank, near the museum in the Town of Peace River. . For those of you who don't know, that "steamy" river would still give you hypothermia in minutes. It will likely freeze solid in the next week or so. It is only the movement that has prevented it from freezing already. . #beautifulwinter #winterinthenorth #PeaceRiver #mightypeace #babyitscoldoutside #spreadsunshine #seekbeauty

Frozen fire, winter sunrise. Step outside, open my eyes. Keep them open, keep on seeking. Everywhere beauty's peeking. . #poetry #winter #snow #amwriting #spreadsunshine #seekbeauty #eyeswideopen #nofilter
