It is the start of winter here. The ground is cold but not frozen. The trees have lost their leaves. I feel the retraction of the sun and the shift to cloudier days and longer nights. On this island, winter brings with it a dragging grayness in the sky. I will admit I do struggle through the winter. I miss the blue sky and sunlight. At home I seek out warmth, a wood fire, a cup of hot tea, a cozy blanket, extra socks and a good book. I read, I write, I paint and I cook.
It is quiet on the island, the tourists and summer companies have all gone home. Although I love the peace and quiet I find that I must discipline myself to get out of the house as I could turn into a hermit. I use photography as a means to record things that appeal to me. Color, shape, line, texture and mood can be caught in a photo. I find it interesting to take photos of the winter fog.
...and the fog rolls in again ... a white darkness...
