Bridge to winter

Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.

Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most freindship if feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,
That does not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As a friend remembered not.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind by William Shakespeare

A lovely little bridge over the burn. Snow and autumn leaves go well together.

Very nice with that fresh bit of snow and the perspective.

I'll bet this is how Ozzy sees this bridge. Love the down low point of view!

potent impact from your low angle, and a delicious if somewhat frigid scene...V
