Out for a Winter's Walk
_{- full view for details -}
This is my 1st entry into `jenepooh's "Winter Dreams" contest, for more info see this journal [link]

"Winter's cold blanket of snow may have fallen, but we can still enjoy our walks together..." says the Girl to her Horse.

Winter Blanket
_{- Ada L. Wine}
The snow is like a blanket that
God spreads across the land,
Where wheat and oats and barley sleep,
Awaiting God's command.
It covers all the pasture fields,
And hides the grasses brown:
It gives the bare, gray willow tree
A clinging, wooly gown.
It wraps around a fencepost tall,
And covers up its head,
Then drifts along the meadow banks
To tuck the creek in bed.

The model, with that hair & cloak, reminds me of Kirsten Dunst's character in "Interview with the Vampire"; [link]

And I love how the color of model's hair and the horse's coat match.

Thanks so much to *Kittihawk11, who has given me permission to use her beautiful Winter photo.

It was the perfect background!
