“All that is gold does not glitter,
not all those who wander are lost;
the old that is strong does not wither,
deep roots are not reached by the frost.”

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields,
that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them
up snug, you know, with a white quilt.”

Very nice, Bob. I like the choice of B&W. Cool font too.

Thank you, Dennis. The only color in the composition was very dark green. It offered nothing but a distraction thus B&W conversion was what I anticipated when processing.
