and from work

winter sky

i worked from home today and popped out to run some errands in the afternoon. it's clear and cold out here at the moment - below freezing cold (cue rabid tabloid stories of "coldest winter ever" and "snowpocalypse". it's -2. there's no snow. they are crazy). anyways this was the sky coming home - a cold winter sky - so beautiful. as i took this picture a man walking his dog stopped and told me that when he was out this morning on the morning walk, one of the trees was dropping the last of its leaves and they were catching in the frosty light and how he stopped to take a video, too. we smiled at each other and went our separate ways but it was lovely, that little connection - both to the beauty of winter and to another human who was also enjoying it.
