December.
Retreat.
Curling inward…
darkness.
Winter solstice…pulling
downward.
Stillness…
quiet.

nice pictures… but what especially moved me this time, was the shot of the bay. Wishing you a beautiful new year.

Yep, that last image really did it for me, too. But then I’m a sucker for any kind of water scene.. 🙂

It’s blowing a hooligan here at the minute, Lynn, but your photos are the essence of tranquility, and very beautiful. Happy 2014 to you!

A hooligan?? We don’t get many of those here. The weather, like many of the people, is quite well behaved in Seattle. Happy 2014 to you too!

As always Lynn I love your images and words! I am making a gallery wall in the family room as part of my multi-month long remodeling project and I just HAVE to have a photo of yours for the wall. Can I please?!? May I have permission to print out an image and include in the gallery? If yes, then well, the next hurdle is deciding which one. Oh my. Maybe I will need your permission to print two instead, or maybe three…. 🙂

Ah, flattery is a good thing! I will “back channel” you, OK? Interesting that you’re willing to say multi-month, but you ain’t going to say year-long! 🙂

Okay, you called me on it, multi-YEAR is truly the most accurate description but, well, hesitated on fessing up to that. But sincere about the gallery wall. I even got a mat cutter this week, so that along with my miter saw, well I am going to do some serious frame making! 🙂
