“Is it snowing where you are?
All the world that I see from my tower is draped in white and the flakes are coming down as big as pop-corns.
It’s late afternoon – the sun is just setting behind some colder violet hills, and I am up in my window seat using the last light to write to you.”
Jean Webster
The sun did rise this morning at 8:56 behind a snowy sky. Not that we have seen a lot of her, lately. It is the beginning and the the end of winter. Starting tomorrow there will be more daylight. We are heading for spring and summer. The colors will be muted for some months to come. But they will return.
In the meantime, we’ll make the best out of it. Reading, writing, working from home. Enjoying breaks in the weather. It is a good time to appreciate what we have.

I’m doing the very same thing……for the opposite reason.
It’s too hot and humid to go out walking much, so I’m indoors with the air-conditioning on. 😀
Gorgeous photos, no snow here yet, last year at this time we had more than 20 inches by my door step. happy solstice to you and keep warm!
Thank you! Be well.
Love the effects produced with black and white imaging!!
Thank you! Me, too 🙂 The subtle winter light is so inviting, since there are no vibrant colors to begin with.
Wow, you beautifully captured winter!! Snow doesn’t come to where I live but I can always drive up to the nearby mountains if I want snow. That works for me. 🙂
Thank you and merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
