Easter Snow

Snow at Easter Time is not a regular occurrence here in the UK. This picture shows a lovely contrast of the spring flowers and green grass against the snow flecked hills behind. The presence of the logs reaching to the sky as if some sort of archaic or alien creature gives a sense of the other worldly about the image as well.

Study the picture then set a timer for 10 minutes. During this ten minutes write about the photograph, even if it is just bullet points. List what you can see, the contrasts and the seasons, what does it mean that there is snow in spring? If we lived even a hundred years ago what would it have ment for us in terms of food later in the year? Is there a portal to another universe or world there, are we seeing a Door to December?

What memories does it invoke?

Answer these questions and you may find a poem growing out of sun and ice crystals.
