A Crispy Crunchy Morning


Early winter mornings
bring crisp and crunchy frosts


and blanched landscapes.
Even my two favourite rusty posts have lost colour.


The rusty pups and I are surrounded by gentle muted colours
except the top of the mountain 
is coloured by the rising sun.



I even love this monochrome scene
It is the layers 
each one a different texture


and grasses bent over with the weight of frosty crystals.


As we walk the rising sun looks warmer than it is.
I thought my finger tips would never stop tingling!

  2. Oh I love this!!! I have been thinking white-off white-tan-grey colors and shades lately. Haven't done anything with it -- but your pictures are making me eager to explore this 'color' scheme. Love the textures also. Thank you.

  4. These colours are so beautiful. The layers in the 4th photo have me dreaming. They are like the natural plant dyes we have been using - I can see a wide or square stitched panel in that photo.

  5. The 4th photo is so much what the hillsides in SoCal look like. Very monochrome. Some days I like it, other days not so much!
    As the week of Thanksgiving in America rolls through, I reflect on the many things I am grateful for in my life. You & your place here is one I count among my blessings. Thank you for that.

  8. My suspicions are confirmed. You actually live just inside the gates of Heaven. I am homesick for winter.
