First Snow

I woke up to a magical winter wonderland on Monday December 12 2023. Every year as climate change creeps upon us, I wonder when the last snow I see will be. I took a walk around my neighborhood and captured the beauty.

“PRIOR: A sunny winter's day, warm and cold at once. The sky's a little hazy, so the sunlight has a physical presence, a character. In autumn, those trees across the lake are yellow, and the sun strikes those most brilliantly. Against the blue of the sky, that sad fall blue, those trees are more light than vegetation.”
