Greetings of the Season to everyone! I wish you all a very happy holiday, and thank you all for your beautiful and interesting blogs, and your friendship over this year.
The Winter Solstice marked the first anniversary of Sylvan Muse. I was too busy to post for the 21st, though I did manage to look at this wonderful little video of Newgrange. I also think RuneE's Solstice photo is brilliant!
I don't often write poetry, but was inspired to pen this earlier this year - and thought I'd post it to join in with TFE's Christmas poetry event, Santa's Poetry Go-Kart!
Happy Blogaversary and Happy Holidays! I love your poem, it reminds me of your art and how you've talked about the light on the edges of hedges :) I'm glad to have gotten to know you through your blog and your art!
Merry Christmas (as we say in North America), Phoenix. The poetry is music to my heart and the picture of the trees in their winter slumber are perfect.
Hi Phoenix, I really enjoyed this post, especially your poem. I love your header painting with the gorgeous trees and magical lighting. Happy blog anniversary!
Thank you for sharing those wonderful drawings and those marvellous words:"the dancing life inside of me"..it's so beautyful! And I hope we'll celebrate the next bloganniversary all together next year! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Oh what a lovely and unique festive header and poem. Congratulations on the first anniversary of your blog. I have really enjoyed visiting and hope to be back regularly in 2010. Wishing you happiness and peace at Christmas and in the new year !
Anna, thank you so much. I always appreciate your visits and comments, and enjoy your blog too! Here's to a great 2010, and all good wishes to you for Christmas!
Lovely verses, Phoenix C. Your talent as an artist (in medium and words) are so evident...always so lovely to view your 'work'! Happy Holidays to you and I look forward to building our friendship in the coming year. Hugs, Lynn

Happy Blogaversary and Happy Holidays!
I love your poem, it reminds me of your art and how you've talked about the light on the edges of hedges :)
I'm glad to have gotten to know you through your blog and your art!
Happy Christmas, Sylvan Muse! I love how you draw your trees. :)
Thank you Carol. Happy holidays to you also!
Catherine, thank you, and I've really enjoyed getting to know you, and your beautiful garden! Happy holidays!
Happy Christmas, Monica! Thank you - I've always loved drawing trees!
Merry Christmas (as we say in North America), Phoenix. The poetry is music to my heart and the picture of the trees in their winter slumber are perfect.
I cannot draw or paint, even when aided with a ruler, so I bow my head in respect for your Christmas card (and I'm glad you liked my photo!).
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your dear ones!
Merry Christmas, Barbara! (We say this here in the UK too). I'm glad you like my little poem and the trees!
Thank you RuneE. Your camera is your paintbrush, with which you create magnificent art!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family too!
Hi Phoenix, I really enjoyed this post, especially your poem. I love your header painting with the gorgeous trees and magical lighting. Happy blog anniversary!
Thank you Diane AZ - glad you like the post! The header painting is one I did as the background to one of my 3D cards.
Thank you for sharing those wonderful drawings and those marvellous words:"the dancing life inside of me"..it's so beautyful!
And I hope we'll celebrate the next bloganniversary all together next year!
