Description
I love being outside when it's warm, feeling the sun or breeze on my face, smelling the flowers or the ocean depending on where I happen to be. However in the winter time, I am exactly the opposite, I hate being outside. I don't care for snow and choose to spend my time snuggled up indoors, preferably in my pyjamas.
It was being outside in the snow the other day which inspired this image. I was taking Lucy (my Saint Bernard) outside for her evening constitution and the wind was so biting I ducked under the branches of a big tree for shelter. I leaned against it's trunk while she was sniffing around looking for heaven know's what; and it reminded of how much I missed being immersed in and connected to nature.
Obviously I know what to do now when I need my nature fix.....but still, roll on Spring :).

Lovely, Penny. I know the feeling of loving to be outside in nature. Hate being cooped up because of weather. Great textures in this image.

Thank you I'ina, the weather has been pretty warm here for February, never known it to be green at this time of year, so enjoying getting outdoors. I know we have more snow to come though!
