Manic Monday prompt ~ Season

Each season has its own atmospheric glory
Wrapping the world in Nature's moods

Each season offers the opportunity
To find a reason for
New makeup

Seasonal changes
Time to dress in fresh wisdoms
Time to refresh souls

Sometimes in the midst of winter's cold and ice and snow I wish to lived in a more southerly clime. But if my wish were granted I would miss my autumn splendor, my wet and damp spring and the delightful scrumptious leisure of summer. As your lovely words suggest: "Each season has its own atmospheric glory". Your lovely words reassuring me of my choice of living in a region of dramatic, changeable season. Well written and well said.
Wow, your Manic Monday's beautiful! Both the photos and the words...love them!
I always combined Fun, Music and Manic Monday...LOL
And yes, I am a fan of Kahlil Gibran...
Happy Monday!
Beautiful! Love "Wrapping the world in Nature's moods" and "Time to dress in fresh wisdoms"
So simple and yet so powerful in truth!
Thanks for stopping by my MM post today! :)
Great mosaic!
Great pics, love your blog.
That is such a pretty collage! I can see this as the cover of a calendar.
Your blog is always filled with beautiful sights, sounds, and words.
Gemma, lovely collage and lovely poetry! thank you for sharing and visiting my blog post! :)
All seasons for me have magic and wonder...beauty in all color forms, even the winter. White, grey, crisp...so cold it hurts to breathe. But knowing it's only a temporary annoyance...I can live with that, for a few months anyway. Ask me again in another month...ha!
However, your words make it a natural progression in time, easy to live with.
What a lovely floral collage and poem ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
