Steamy Frost

On this oddly bleak and gloomy evening I decided to take a walk into the winter wonderland that is the outdoors. My cold hardened eyelids creaked open to witness the amazing contrast of the force that nature wields. My nostrils numbed at the first whiff of crisp, fresh air that I had taken. The snow crisply blanketed the entire bewitching environment in a deeply white blinding blaze as the moon's intense aura of reflection gauged out my eyes leaving me dazed and brain dead with an onslaught of bewilderment.

I am astounded at the difference in the once barren scenery, it is hardly recognisable. It now resembles the once care-free life that I had as just an infant. At first breath, the air is pleasantly humid and contains an extravaganza of aromas that range from the sugary, honey-like fragrance from the new birth of the flowers as they break through the grassy-green ...
