On warm, summery days, this seating is at a premium. On snowy wintry days, not so much…
Winter Perspective
Blue Skies
Pine Forest
We all travel the milky way together, trees and men… trees are travellers, in the ordinary sense. They make journeys, not very extensive ones, it is true: but our own little comes and goes are only little more than tree-wavings – many of them not so much. ~John Muir, Scribner’s Monthly, November 1878
Wintry Road
Not much conversion needed to turn this (slightly) color photograph into a black and white. The road leads into Owen Conservation Park, and the park is always a good bet to visit, even in the midst of a blizzard. Snow plows are stored in sheds in the park, and so its road is one of the first to get plowed.
The last time I stuck my yardstick into the side yard, the snow measured a good 16 inches in depth. So the browns of November are now the whites of December.
