I’ve heard of this phenomena called the January Blues.  A condition in which the post-holiday, short, usually cold and cloudy days get some folks down.  I’m thankful not to suffer that affliction!  If anything, I absolutely revel in the winter blues of January.

I love the fading light of late afternoon, the silhouette of bare tree limbs and the softness of the snow covered landscape.  The world slows down, cools down, literally and figuratively, and our minds are given the chance to rest and renew.  I’ve been pinning some of my favorite wintery images on my An Artsy Winter Pinterest board and thought I’d share some of them with you!

I hope that maybe this post and peeking around the board will help you find the beauty in your winter blues!  To see more selections, visit the An Artsy Winter board on Pinterest.  If it doesn’t do the trick, turn on a heat lamp, pour yourself a cup of cocoa and count the days until spring! 😉
