Morning, Lambton County
The sun rises and illuminates a starkly beautiful landscape.
Beautiful
This winter scene might be considered bleak and lifeless. It can also be considered beautiful.
Returned
Winter returned today with a vengeance. After yesterdays’ temperatures of plus 12 and higher, we went down to -2 with snow and a bitter north wind. A good reminder that winter isn’t done, there is more to accept whether I like it or not.
