Perhaps it was the bright and cold light that awakened my consciousness, and on this cold winter morning, I curled up lazily in the warm quilt, and looked out the window at the two black birds and finches on the silver branches.

Because the ice and snow were covered, the window was silver and bright, and the sparse bald branches of the tree had become a string of beautiful silver stripes, so the two black dots on the branches were very eye-catching, silent in this black and white vivid picture, if it were not for the eyes turning, I would not have seen that they were two small finches. I don't know if this little creature is as spiritual as a human being, but it does live in such harmony with nature that its still branches are so in perfect harmony with this cold mountain and water, combined into a quiet ink landscape.

I thought that if it was dawn in spring, before dawn, the birds on the branches would be chirping and jumping. On this cold winter morning, the birds and finches at this time are interested in maintaining silence to maintain the tranquility of nature. It can be seen that not only humans have sensitive insights into natural objects, but animals can also perceive nature keenly and live in harmony with it. Just like Su Shiyun: Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet. As people can see: when the rain comes, ants move, and dragonflies fly low. What a wonderful little life! What a magical nature!

Suddenly, with a "bang", a snowball suddenly landed on the ground. Birds and finches also fluttered, spread their wings and flew up, they flew around the branches a few times, and then flew back to the same place together, combing their feathers, occasionally chirping at each other, sometimes neck to neck, sometimes looking at each other, very affectionate. The movement of the birds aroused my great interest, and I got up from the bed, approached the windowsill, and looked closely. I found that not only is the movement and stillness of this bird so harmonious and beautiful outside the window, the whole heaven and earth are in a quiet and splendid snow scene, with the background of daylight, wind, flowing water, and birdsong, and the movement and stillness here are so complementary.

Poets and painters are good at creating beauty through the combination of movement and static, can all small lives skillfully use this artistic technique? Could it be that nature is the greatest artist? When we see the well-defined and complex spider webs and hives, are we impressed by their exquisite structure? When we see the diagonally and uniform flock of geese, are we amazed by their ingenious queues? When we see the egrets fluttering in the wind and dancing, are we amazed by their light and feminine dance? Aren't these cute little elves a clever artist? What a wonderful little life! What a magical nature!

I think that if you let this cold branch into the painting, with the light of the sky and clouds in this winter, it must be a wonderful work. Think about it again, how many magnificent natural landscapes give us audiovisual enjoyment, that Jilin rime, Guilin landscape, Hukou waterfall, Huangshan Mountain sea of clouds, all amazing. How many skilled craftsmen in nature are creating these works for us? How many brilliant artists are creating beauty for us? This art is so ubiquitous!

Cold branches and birds are a kind of quiet beauty, flowers and seas are a kind of gorgeous beauty, and alpine waterfalls are a kind of majestic beauty. Nature, this clever artist, its masterpieces are overlooked, or majestic, or exquisite, how can I see this pair of eyes?
