I've been known to complain about the long winters in Connecticut, it's hard to get excited about six months of deadened vegetation and seemingly endless cold, short days. But I will admit that there is much beauty to be found out the back door. Even in winter.
Baxter Preserve, North Salem, NY
December 31, 2011
The final day of 2011 is shrouded in fog.
This is dog country.....
.....and horse country.
The first day of 2012 is sparkling with sunshine.
Weir Farm National Historic Preserve,
Ridgefield, CT
Artist-in-Residence historic buildings dot the landscape.
Pick a trail....
....or follow Henry.
Leafless, and appearing lifeless...
...there is a sense of peace....
...and yet color will find its way out.
And what's a hike without a puppy?
He'll remind you of the wonder of it all!
Happy 2012 everyone!
