Description
Today is Lucia day in Sweden. Lucia, with crown of burning lights on her head, followed by many maidens, walk singing and serving coffee and lucia bread and ginger bread, from house to house.
Well such maybe it was long ago. Today I only have seen a Lucia on TV.
BUT...if I look over my right shoulder I see this white wonderful view, so I am happy after this l-o-n-g period of rain.
Thanks for viewing and the comments you want to give

Beautiful snow scene !
Beautiful scene!
Sounds like a fun day! Beautiful winter scene. I hope your warm. Have a wonderful day!
What a gorgeous garden you have Gun. It is such a lovely capture. Thanks for sharing it.
Such a beautiful, peaceful scene this is. I am happy Lucia doesn't have to be out in the cold, but I'm sure it would be a beautiful scene with the candlelight and snow. I can imaging a group of little Lucia's dancing in your garden. Happy Lucia Day!
A lovely tradition of giving gingerbread. This is a beautiful shot- I just love it when the snow clings to all the branches like that, turning the trees into a fairyland. CC
Happy Lucia Day, oh I know about this celebration...it's truly a beautiful. This is a pretty winterland scene.
What a wonderful holiday photo. I'd never heard of Lucia Day before. I learn so much out here in the galleries. I'm fond of ginger bread and coffee so, I'd readily welcome that. Your scenery looks a lot like mine. It is so cold here. It's pretty for the holidays and it's always a cozy time to sit back and reflect on the year, and then by the middle of January I start yearning for spring. Happy Lucia Day! I often wonder why such wonderful traditions disappear.
very nice !
We are still waiting for snow, so thanks for sharing some. lovely scene. Happy Licia Day, Gun!
A beautiful view, Gun. Thanks for sharing ;O)

Beautiful photo! We got our first real snow of the season today (I'm in northen California) with more to come!
beautiful capture sure brings a smile warm hug, Linda
although i do not like cold, i love o see the snow - very fine image, gun.
Wonderful winter capture!
Beautiful Shot....!!!
My dad used to do something similar when I was young... he had a few drinks, filled a large silver serving tray full of hot buttered rums and then delivered them to each house on the block singing (oh my!) and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. He was a "favorite" during the holidays with all the neighbors... This sure is a gorgeous sight. Wonderful view.
A lovely winter wonderland.
Beautiful capture.
I'd love to have some Swedish coffee and lucia bread!!!!! Sounds like a great tradition!!!! We're expecting some snow soon too!!!!
Very serene view!
It snowed here this morning too .. they were predicting a doozie of a storm, but I think it missed us .. but then maybe I'm speaking too soon. lol :)
Beautiful winter scene, excellent capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful winter scene, makes me want to curl up with a cup of hot chocolate!
what a beautiful image. i've only seen rain and wetness this season, so i appreciate the more extreme and interesting view of winter (though i like pretty much all of winter's weather).
Oh what a lovely view from your window! And how nice to see just a bit of blue in the sky! We have had strange weather the temps rising and plummeting, rising and plummeting, rain then snow then rain then snow.
still catching up (bear with me)...I saw this lovely shot when you posted it but couldn't comment then...now it's a day away from the Solstice, so this is the right time. It's a beautiful shot of 'dusting', snow gracing everything with a light coat, and you caught all the sinewy limbs & branches. But what makes this even more special is the tonal quality, the silver-grays, the gentle sepias & the beautiful gradations in the sky. A gentle touch I love. You were always fine with subtleties, and this is a perfect example. A beautiful picture of early winter in all its purity; even the frame is beautifully done. I hope it remains this beautiful for you, throughout. (In the city it doesn't, but moments like these make all the others worthwhile.) Beautiful & subtle, and a fav.
