With the winter solstice upon us, what better way to celebrate than to be among trees in the sunset light! From this point, for the next six months, the days begin to grow longer again, and if you’re anything like me, your spirits rise with each minute gained.
There is something about a forest with a touch of snow, and the low, warm, slanting light at the end of the day that I find irresistible. Despite the cold, and the coming darkness, and the long drive home, I tend to linger, to make one more trek around the loop trail, to stay for one more photo.
Yuletide greetings to all, as we prepare to wrap up this year. There’s no need for expensive gifts or material things, just the celebration of the seasons and the wonders of the natural world around us.
