Snow

It has been cold here lately, but one of the things I like is when it is this cold, the snow actually sparkles. Looks like glitter in the air creating columns of light in the night as it falls. it shines on the ground as well. not like the dull snow we see all the time, but somehow better.

But, when the tide rises and sharks are around,
His voice has a timid and tremulous sound.

Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
