Winter
doldrums, a bout with the flu and a few busy days have dominated this month.
Even the inspiration to write or photograph has been very limited and almost
non-existent. Yesterday, as I strolled the neighborhood for some exercise, I
stopped by a community garden a few blocks from my house to check on the
season. Lots of beautiful winter kinds of food stuffs…chard and broccoli and a
hint of spring in the blossom of the cherry tree at the edge of the garden. As
I sort of half-heartedly meandered through the plots, an amazing little row of
bright blossoms said essentially, “snap out of it”. Nice to be jolted into the
reality of a glorious change of seasons.
