Where did the color go?
I too feel washed something other than clean, not rinsed and wrung either. Just a winter wan.
If I kick about my ankles, time is not spooled like silk. Rather it is turning around me as a cotton batt tornado.
Silent and the birds have stopped singing as if I were in the eye.
Luckily there is touch. And texture.
Running my fingers over a bit of bark or a gold-rimmed coffee cup heats the tips with sparks of blue, green, gold…
I lean towards the warmth and am pulled forward into the ticking minutes…
…and further down the wide if barren path…
…slow as breathing towards something resembling Spring.
Yes, Jeanne, we have to! In our teacups, in the music we are listening to, all of it. I know that you do too. Your beautiful drawings always radiate hope–one that is catching and impossible not to be touched by…
Bisous,

Me too, I love your pictures from the carwash. Reminds me of below deck in a boat during a blowing gale, and foams made by the waves on the portholes…or taking pictures from inside the banzai pipeline…:)

What beautiful winter landscapes. How I wish I were there! What I really loved was the car wash from saturday's post viewed to the music from the Jan. 29 post. Stunning. And, no, you aren't crazy (-:
Heather..I love the rhythm of your photos…I can feel the winter wan and am catching a glimpse of spring..possible in January? So enjoying the sound of Birdy…I have shared it on Facebook.. looking forward to the day when we can talk on FB..hint, hint!
Watching Out of Africa and thinking of you…I know you would be enjoying it too…

I bet you are one that welcomes the coming of Spring…Thanks for sharing the beauty of winter. loved the song!
Oooh, I will soak them up so gladly–although the sun is breaking through today!
And isn't she talented? She was only 16 when she recorded that song. Isn't that something?

Hello Deborah! Oh dear, I never wrote you back to your long email. Sigh. These photos were taken in the hills behind Les Baux de Provence. There is a dirt track that is excellent for walking or for those with a big truck! Merci for your kindness.
Do you see the castle ruins on the hill in the background? That is no movie set, my dear tg but it certainly is epic.

I always love your perspective, Virginia. "Quiet things"…it is so very, very true.
Bisous,

Lovely to have you here, Julia.
