I HAD for my winter evening walk
No one at all with whom to talk,
But I had the cottages in a row
Up to their shining eyes in snow.
And I thought I had the folk within:
I had the sound of a violin;
I had a glimpse through curtain laces
Of youthful forms and youthful faces.
I had such company outward bound.
I went till there were no cottages found.
I turned and repented, but coming back
I saw no window but that was black.
Over the snow my creaking feet
Disturbed the slumbering village street
Like profanation, by your leave,
At ten o’clock of a winter eve.–Robert Frost
Focused Moments 
Rachael, wow, this is beautiful! Was this processed with Topaz Simplify?
Yes, I had a lot of fun with it during the trial period. 🙂
I’m really impressed with your image, now, I can’t wait to try it out too.
It works particularly well with trees, in my opinion.
Thanks for the tip. I have to dig into my archives and see which image works.
This is simply stunning and the Frost works so well with it, too!
Now that is a super cool effect. The poem also goes beautifully with it. Hadn’t heard of that software before, I’m going to go and check it out.
A beautiful illustration for the poem, the winter walk is perfect.
Stunning image, very well linked to the poem – the combination is spectacular!
Merry Christmas!
Beautiful. I love the poem by Frost. It pairs nicely with the image.
