Sunny Days

It wasn't quite warm today, but the sun did make a feeble attempt to stretch its rays out in the hopes of reaching solid ground. Days that promise sunshine result in time spent in the woods, long walks meandering through the trails and finding simple distractions. Like this cool tree--


... and these ... um.... fungi? what's the word for them? oh well.





Winter woods promise quiet moments of solitude and for me, rejuvenation away from city life and the hustle/bustle of things. Especially if we catch a rare glimpse of the sun.


It was quite a while before I got up from this spot... basking in the bright light and reminiscing about sitting on the edge of the St. Augustine fort's wall looking out over the inlet. Except the ground was freezing, the wind wasn't so forgiving, and the sun quickly disappeared as soon as I settled myself. 

Dreaming of warmth, or at least snow, SOMETHING other than cold, gloomy weather...
