First snow of the season

Posted on | November 16, 2007 | 17 Comments

Driving home, three good songs on the radio and then perfect light. I couldn’t stop smiling.


I pulled on my new snowboots, and dashed out the door with my camera thudding against my chest.


The light was so perfect it took my breath away.


A momentary break in the clouds, and pure gold.


Everything was silent except for the wind, and the light faded fast.


Still I was grateful, so grateful, to be in the right place at the time. With my camera.

    sigh…
    that one
    with the sun
    down
    and the gold
    on the snow
    on the branch…
    took
    my
    breath
    away.
