‘The imagination is the spur of delights … all depends upon it, it is the mainspring of everything; now, is it not by means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?”  Marquis de Sade

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy, is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself” William Blake

I could not let winter slip away without a gallery of photos taken over the winter months that spurred my imagination to creations made of snow providing moments of delight, pleasure and joy. Do you see what I see? Hope I can add a moment of delight and joy to your day.
