decemberism

The feeling of being pinned down by the clouds. Thank (my) god that at this altitude one still has a lot of room to move between compressing particles. Not so some places - where the atmospheric weight and the darkness can nearly get you walking horizontally on your toes.

The Aspen Hour

After the past two weeks up in the mountains, trees going off like fireworks, and me the lucky one who's gone up into it, we have finally had our first snow and frost (snow on the peaks that is). Some of the color lingers, dimming - but here's my reminder of what amazing changes we've enjoyed.

hello from the stormy southwest mountains where busily I make art,
tend garden and chase rainbows - .

rise and shine



long grow the nights and cold



listening for whispers



hidden along the fold
