winter darkness
starts early in the afternoon.
nevertheless the woods still look so magical.
especially after a sprinkling of rain.
we bundled up. and we found pinecones glistening after their bath. a solitary rosehip and a bit of mistletoe. a few birdies. and lots of mud. this walk was so peaceful and refreshing. i can’t think of a better way to spend the last days of december.
if i don’t get back here in the next few days. happy. happy. new year to you and yours……

I could smell the outdoors in your photos. A blessed new year to you and yours, Regan!
Quietly enjoying your pictures and monologue. As always. Happy New Year!
I’ve never seen ‘wild’ mistletoe! COOL!
Wow, I have never seen wild mistletoe either, here in MN we only see the preserved, compacted stuff that falls apart when you try to hang it up!! 🙂
Love the pictures, it’s always so relaxing to come here!
Happy new year, God bless!
happy new year, regan (and family)!
Blessed New Year!
