It's so very curious that I read your headline: Whitney's (not Winter's) first breath because Whitney was directly underneath Winter. So, it was "first breath," which led the journey with you. I looked at everything new as a newborn does, as an Explorer of the space you open for me. I could hear the sounds of wonderland and the "crunch, crunch" of the snow. My eyes were set to sound. I absolutely love these walks with you! Thank you, Whitney!

So many wonderful metaphors, Whitney! The prose and photos pair well. I really love “Mushrooms wear crystal hats that glitter and sparkle, nestled in beds of soft evergreen not yet buried beneath drifts of white.”
