And now back to our regularly scheduled winter...

I'd suspected the green and pink and mild January was too good to be true.

Happy Blue Year

Mount Cheam on New Year's Day, 2012

I began 2012 in the same place & way I ended 2011: standing on top of Little Mountain, viewing Mount Cheam through a frame of trees. Alone except for Piper. In silence, except for the whooshing of the wind.

Between a grey dawn and dusk, the blue hour of the day.

Mount Cheam, Chilliwack, 31 December 2011

“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been”
Rainer Maria Rilke
