"It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it."



~ John Burroughs



Walking to the edge of the woods, stepping over Holly buried in snow, the brightness is stunning. It comes from everywhere at once, unusual in the woods. The loud luminosity surrounds and envelops juxtaposed against the muffled footsteps. Awe-inspiring does not begin to express the feeling.
