Teagan Geneviene has issued a challenge for bloggers to create something that illustrates the colourless world inhabited by her heroine, Emlyn, in her fantastic Dead of Winter series. You can read about Teagan’s challenge here: https://teagansbooks.com/2021/12/08/wednesday-writing-what-used-to-be/
I was going to write something, but then I remembered the winter wonderland I created a few years ago and which is perfectly suited to this challenge. It features Jack Frost, who is actually a rather evil character in the colourless world he has created using his chisel and other tools.
Jack also looks after the snow babies.

I suppose I do think of winter landscapes as being colourless, Liz. I’ve only experienced a snowy winter twice in my life so this is also based on my imaginings.
LikeLiked by 1 person
On cloudy days, the colors of a snowy landscape are muted, but on sunny days, the snow reflects light, which makes the colors of everything that isn’t snow more vivid.
