how's your winter?

from Myoung Ho Lee's Photography-Act: Tree #3 via {NPRradiopictures}

......

gosh it's a winter wonderland here these days. pretty snow everywhere, and to be honest, everyone at our little home is so happy it see it / play in it / gaze out at the white-ly loveliness of it. me included. 

i've been taking things slowly on the blogging front these days. working on a series of other projects. 

thanks for your patience, loves. 

how's the winter where you are, sweeties?

great green-ies: singapore's solar powered supertrees

 {via co.exist}

.................

have you seen the new supertrees of singapore? 

a magical solar-powered canopy of artificial tall *trees* towering over the urban seaside.

i'm fascinated by the lovely design & shape,  & intrigued by the green-li-ness of the project. the tree-towers also convert sunlight into usable energy, collect rainwater for reuse and act as air-vent ducts for nearby conservatories. cool!

(& you know how i love vertical gardens & that vertical forest!)

what do you think? yay or nay?

photo essay: the winter trees we see

................

psst: i've got a monochromatic secret.

i'm in love with the soft brown plant-detritus that peeks out in the bleak midwinter landscape. in between snowcarpets, there is that gorgeous wheat-huedness that languishes on the backroads of our drives home here. 

i love it.

 one particular roadtrip a week or so ago and the light was that perfect flat january-in-the-north tone where everything looked grey and taupe and white. i love that.

i know the solace of such days is the foe of some. but that leafless tree stillness inspires me.

so from the passenger seat: a few snapshots of the trees we see.

what seasonal scenes inspire you,  lovelies?

what do you see on your way home?
