The seasons the spin around again…the years keep rolling by.
I captured a few photos of winter edging toward spring while walking the dog yesterday.

A winter’s day…
In a deep and dark December.
Today is mid-winter. Here is a gallery from this, the shortest day of the year. It’s being a chilly one!
Brrrr!
Hope you are all able to stay safe and warm this winter.

Spring Greens
Lots of colors in the flowers at this time of year, but the dominant color of spring is green. The green of new leaves emerging, but also of moss, catkins and some flowers. Here are a few spring greens from this morning’s walk for Cee’s Mid-week madness challenge: Spring Season.

Why do you go away? So that you can come back*
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is “What is a road trip you would love to take? (I skipped yesterday’s because I have absolutely no clue what advice I’d give to my teenage self. Way too long ago.)
