So that I went out (between client calls and a dance lesson) searching for vivid. And I knelt down to the snow that had gained a patina (in the chilled night) of ice. I wondered, for a moment, what it might be to separate, from all the white, a snow crystal, a single one. Bending down, kneeling then, I felt Anna's scarf unravel. When it fell, it was the vivid thing that I'd been searching for all along.

Vivid

After reading your blog for a time, now, and "getting to know" your commenters a little, this all seems very appropriate. Yes, Anna Lefler, to help provide the Vivid.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to have snow. I love how you found what you were seeking in something you wouldn't have considered.
ReplyDeleteI took some photos of a playground covered in snow last week. Fun pictures but your picture gets more at the playful heart that I was trying for. :) Maybe I'll post mine later this week.
ReplyDeleteThe colors were deep and rich yesterday, early morning as I skated toward them. All frozen here.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Em: I look forward to your photos.
ReplyDeleteOh, friend, this makes me so very happy.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the world through your eyes.
