Winter drags on. This February, which is soon coming to a close, was a few degrees colder than the average. This is the time of the year where the cold begins to wear on me. I long for spring. I know eventually the sun and warmth will return, but the impending return of spring is confounded by the continuing stubbornness of winter.

In the meantime there are always the different visions of winter beauty to enjoy. Here we have a nice vision of a winter wood nymph. She must cold. I would more than enjoy keeping her warm.
