dark of winter

Truly it has been a dark winter, not extremely cold, though there have been some frigid days predicted that never came to pass. 

Dark, overcast, gloomy, foggy, rainy misty, damp—all those adjectives that define an uncomfortable state of being, especially if they seem never ending.

I haven’t managed a lot of walks and have a good case of cabin fever.

I’ve had 2 outings this week and was able to pull a bright hopeful photo out of the starkness around me.
