On a winter foot-path
silhouettes emerge
– reaching skyward
Notes: Over the holidays we had many consecutive days of cloudy skies, but even the grey days bring interesting sights, especially when walking along some of the many forest paths near my house. I snapped a photo of tree silhouettes as we were returning from a jaunt with Max (the beautiful dog we hosted for ten days or so). For some reason that view of the trees at the end of the snowy path stuck with me, and one evening last week I took out a wee square of watercolour paper and tried to capture it from memory, and that’s the illustration, above. The original is about 2 x 3 inches in size. Small is sometimes fun, even when the subject matter is large!
