Happy Holidays to all!

For Wordless Wednesday

Shortest Day

As we drove home from our escape to the mountains this evening, we noted the throng of pedestrians walking onto the Brooklyn Bridge. The setting sun was the draw. That huge setting sun was a blaze of orange, just sitting at the waters edge. This made for specular views on approach to the bridge while driving. I have never noticed the sun this size before. Too busy not looking up, I guess. I’m not sure what caused it, but it was a sight to behold three days before Christmas!

Midwinter

midwinter gray fades –
the blush of the evening sun
takes command of sky

prelude to solstice, subtle
shift – a lift in spirits
