first day of winter
even the sun looks cold
….freezing my fingers
(Yesterday was winter solstice, which is celebrated around the world as the seasonal change into winter. In some traditions this is known as the day of the “death and birth of the sun.”
Out early, I had an hour and a half to kill waiting for my car to be serviced. The cold had me shivering in temps below freezing, as I walked around hoping for a good picture or two. And then there was the sun. I pulled off my gloves, pulled out my phone, and tried to focus. My fingers were shaking and begged “no!” but my mind said “yes” and persisted. The mind is a stubborn fellow😆.)
