A perfect winter`s day: proper crunch and sparkle in brilliant sunshine under a flawless blue sky, the glacial air prompting shoulder straightening and deep breaths.

The wispy low-lying mist softened the shadows falling through the trees,

There were "diamonds on the branches of the trees" (pace Paul Simon)

and birds singing from the tops of them as if they could see Spring on the horizon. Could have walked for ever.



And tonight there`s a hard frost glittering across the snow under a nearly full moon in a sky full of dancing stars. Perfection indeed.
