"For many, many years, I dreaded the months of winter in the mountains. I hated the dark, the wet, the cold. But now, I have learned to appreciate each season, each change I witness in nature." Yay, I'm so glad! I totally get why people struggle with certain seasons for various reasons (I personally struggle with arid landscapes and extreme heat) - but in every climate and condition, there is so much beauty and wonder to experience, when we can manage it :)

Definitely agree Sydney, it's totally understandable that we struggle with certain conditions for whatever reason it may be. I would struggle in extreme heat also, it's not something I'm used to living in the mountains. Winter was a struggle because of mindset more than anything, so I'm glad I've been able to make the shift to enjoy it more - it does take up many months of the year here, so I needed the open up to the beauty of it. ;)

Seeing the change of the green to the snowy white is so impressive in photos - can’t imagine how magical it must be to experience in real life! 🥰

It was so lovely to immerse myself in the transition from green to white, and a lot of fun to capture it too. ♡

What a stunning place you live in. I'm glad there was some snow for you, but you're right, there's definetely less this year.
