No snow during the holidays, but enough post. Still, I think the way the house was done up for the season would have made for a beautiful shot, if snow covered.

Silver Blue, who was once told “never lose the joy you get from snowfall; it’s like Christmas through the eyes of a child.” Somehow, no matter how jaded I get, that joy never leaves me.

This photo was taken at the base of a bridge in Tappahannock, VA, in the summer of 2012. I call it “On wind and waves…” because the birds seem equally at home on either.

…has two seasons. Winter, and Summer. It’s either freezing cold, or scalding hot. Rare that we get a spring or an autumn.

Silver Blue, who’d like to be soaking up some rays, and losing this headache.
