Yes, I am weathered, too, but I'll keep climbing. That hint of color in the third photo is very enticing because I keep thinking I'm imagining it.

connected by the deep chords
of resonating beauty in small
bits of nature shared
beautifully, supported by thoughts
of perseverance.

and february WILL pass to sunnier days here! i'll climb away from 'cabin fever'...and find a little bit of green for the background of life

The words and photos are so descriptive of the aging process. So needed after a glimpse into the mirror this morning...I simply must continue climbing.

Okay, #3 became #1, unless I'm crazy.

I'm so drawn to the cracking and peeling paint in these images; a texture only nature and time produces.

joanne said...
