My husband took this photograph when we had our first snowfall last winter. That was sometime in early November, 2007. I always thought this was a beautiful photo, and found it again, just today.

Dear Renee, a lovely haiku and your picture compliments it. We have snow in our back yard here in New Zealand and it's very pretty to see.
Great haiku.

And so the cold and bitter suddenly becomes sweet and full of joy. It is a choice that turns everything into a gift.

A Beautiful Picture!!!
Your words bring the picture to life here...I love snow and snowy pictures...They just leave me in a calm wonder of the power and majesty of our great God!!! He created all seasons with beauty but I have to say nothing leaves me in wonder more than winter....A great job here my poetess friend!!!!~~Toni~~

A great haiku here! I love the snow. it just doesn do it enough where i live though. that's why i build doughnut cities and shower them with powdered sugar to symbolize the snow...... Best of luck in the contest my friend.

Wow Renee'! Lovely haiku! How it brings back memories of your two comments on my trees and a snow scene you commented on! Your title drew me in..."Dusted with powdered sugar." Bookmarking this for its sentimental value, and its yours! Bravo!
