The colors of winter....Which of course can be no color at all. I was thinking of proposing a high key challenge, but winter will cover this in almost all situations, the whiteness against whatever the subject is (Google High Key). Likewise, winter can be either sunny or bleak, it will certainly include New Year's which falls in the dead of winter, red on white can represent a...wound in winter or other things, likewise blue or yellow...

The word Winter in a song or otherwise is allowable, as will be using Winter as a metaphor for a whole host of creative avenues, (eg, "The winter of our discontent," can be represented by a lot of quality but different images...).

Let the cold seep into your bones, good ideas will spring forth! (Dave can find a shivering deer, Jim if in MN all is possible as probably true for Paul and Alastair...me in SoCal will be problematic, but I will find a way...as will you.) Best Wishes, Traveller
