Winter views

Winter is a slow gardening time, especially when we're planning to be away at various points. Otherwise, my winter vegetable garden would be active.

But, winter is not just about gardening, but marking the seasons.  And on this Winter Solstice night, I was glad to see a wonderful evening out from the back back. It's a special aspect of being in the mountains in winter: the light.  It's clear and luminous, compared to our humid summer skies.
