Winter wonderland



We stepped out early this morning to attend to some chores. The roads were deserted and a thick fog engulfed the few cars and pedestrians brave enough to battle the icy weather. As we drove to the outskirts of the city, a most beautiful sight greeted us - the dull grey had transformed into a most soothing shade of white. Bare tree branches were adorned with a velvety white powder and people walking their pets stood to take pictures of the serene landscape. My first thoughts were - 'Narnia!' Remember the snowy winter wonderland where possibilities are endless and success a matter of seeking the courage within to overcome all obstacles? Beautiful world of childhood literature, brought alive one random morning on a drive I hadn't expected much from.
What a lovely greeting on what could have been just another cold winter's day.
