an impromptu walk this afternoon to gather greens for decorating. the air was cold and still. the woods were silent as they often are before a storm. i happened upon this small dark frozen spot, hardly more than a puddle really, but with ice as glossy and smooth as glass. i longed to skate on it in the peaceful stillness of the forest.

ReplyDeleteJust had to tell you that I love that line. Thanks for sharing.
A wonderful photo and I agree with KP, I love that line. BUT, what I am really thinking is, "when Chris was searching for greenery, DID SHE FIND ANY DINGLE-BERRIES?!?!?!"
