Warmth on my face


I like mornings, the quiet, the stillness, the solitude and yesterday while the world was rushing about to get to work I went for a walk accompanied by Meg and my camera. The temperature was -5C and our feet made soft crunching sounds as we walked across the grass. I have no idea how many photographs I took but here are a few. On our return to the truck the frost had begun to thaw as the sun climbed slowly higher and for the first time in months I could feel its gentle warmth on my face. For ten minutes or so, I sat on the step in the doorway and savoured this almost forgotten feeling before setting about a morning of domestic chores outside. The truck had its first wash for several months now that the water was not going to freeze before it hit the ground, Megs bedding was given a good airing and I fettled my fishing gear before going off in search of fish. No fish............but I really couldn't give a damn, it had been a lovely day and bringing it all to close was as dramatic a sunset as one could wish for.
