A Winter Walk

Sometimes the weekend starts off with sudden disappointment which progresses relentlessly. At that point all you can do is walk, allowing subtle shades of white, black, and gray, calls of cardinals, flocks of robins, and a silence pregnant with peace to work their tender care and a dim light softens the edges.

A view that beckoned

and invited.

An expanse that humbled and reminded graciously.

Fear gave way crossing to quiet sights.

Images of winter

We have a snow day here and so I'm taking time to clear my camera's card. I wanted to share a few images of our winter here in the area. Currently we are snowed/iced in and waiting for, hopefully, another snow day. Slowing down and taking in the scenery is a good in and of itself. As always click on the photo for a larger view.

In Dreams

When the cold of winter comes
Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain

But in dreams
I can hear your name
And in dreams
We will meet again

When the seas and mountains fall
And we come, to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there,
I will go there
And back again

and do a little eagle watching.
