Winter Trees

All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.


~William Carlos Williams

Lovely poem... there has been a remarkable harvest moon, seen it? I have a few photos of the early morning moon on me flickr page, do have a look, the moon over the hudson, been over a few times before sun up, funny, good to feel really really cold again. A few nice sunset photographs as well.

Thine in the light

Amanda, thank you so much for your encouraging comment on my blog. I am very much going to take up your offer, but I need to be able to formulate intelligable questions and discussions in myself first. I don't think you'd like pages and pages of confusing and contradictory ramblings re. plain dress! Bear with me, I'll be in touch soon!
