Almost invisible if you don't take notice of the beauty around you. The winter is not only hard and rough. It's also moody and soft. The white blanket of snow covers and protects nature during its rest between fall and spring. The frost makes art and celebrates with sparkling snow flakes and sculptures of ice. All is calm, you can see and hear your breath. If you're present you'll even hear the sound of frost-bitten leaves rustling from the branches and making music as the wind whispers among the trees.
