That was the word that came to mind after I downloaded this image. A bit imperfect but somehow it felt wrong to delete it.

found along an icy path

I only had to hop one fence, calm down one startled rabbit, and wade hip-deep through one muddy grove to reach the graveled path leading up to the power station. I had visited this area before and was curious what this season held for viewing. For the most part, I kept my camera aimed high hoping to catch sight of the hawk I’d seen before but then at some point I realized I should watch my footing on the icy rocks. I glanced down and this is what I saw.
In one small area ice sheets stretched. In some places water bubbled beneath the surface. Rocks and leaves were enveloped by sheer winter wraps. Later at home I played around a bit with the lighting. Revealed were bright stars in a dark sky and stained glass perfect for an outdoor cathedral.
One day later my hands are still cold from that impromptu icy shoot. But I think the numbness was worth it.

sunlight on the mystic

Traveling by foot to the Mystic River can be a bit harrowing from where I live. There’s nothing like crossing a major highway, at a legitimate pedestrian crossing, without a crosswalk signal. But when you reach the river, it is worth it.

When I told my family in Virginia that for my birthday I chose to go walking along the seashore, many responded with horror. “Wasn’t it cold?” they asked. “Yes,” I said, “and windy too. So I had to keep my head down.” And this is what I saw.

When I return to Virginia, I am always surprised in a wondrous way by the beauty of the light falling upon the landscape. It is different than the light that inspires me here in New England. At some point I must sit and write about those lights, but until then I will simply share this picture taken while visiting with family. For those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a good holiday.
