jan in the wild

wildness in my heart be not tamed ... dance, dive, soar; live, be lived, be wholly and completely open and unafraid; go forth, act on what inspires you, breathe love and give nothing less than everything

Frost Sculptures


Extreme sub-zero temperatures can result in ice-sculpturesque scenes in nature.  I never cease to be moved by the ability of nature to reinvent herself, not only at the transition of the seasons, but uniquely so within each one. On this day, the intense white and blue was striking, refreshing, breathtaking.

About Me

My photo
janice
I am wild at heart, yet much tamer than I used to be. Private, yet open; compassionate, but solitary; Funny, but modest; strict, but fair. At times too brave, and other times hindered by my fears. I am passionate, sometimes bordering on obsessive. I constantly strive to be a better person and to contribute to a better world, little by litte, in my own unobtrusive way. I don't like arguing or debating so much, but I'm a protector, by nature, and will defend the underdog with utter fierceness.
