As if to make-up for December’s weather which has had few days of sunlight but plenty of rain, this, the last day of 2021, is mild and dry and sunny.

“Shyly coated in greys, blacks, browns –
to keep us out of sight of the cold –

we weren’t expecting this this morning: sun

and shadows, like a summer’s evening, like summer
teasing.” ~ Winter Morning ~ Richard Meier

A final morning walk of 2021 in my Derbyshire locale and I am thankful for these last 6 months in my new home





Happy New Year Laura! 😊
many thanks Ingrid – may the Muse be with you!
How lovely.
a lovely day indeed – Happy 2022 Jude
A warm and … beautiful farewell, my dear Laura.
Happy 2022, my dear friend. xoxo
yes a long goodbye and bringing in a fresh start – though optimism is not easy I should try to treat every day as that – looking forward to more of your art and musical posts in 2022 Marina
Awww…
Optimism is rarely easy, especially now, which is why looking for beauty is needed even more. I find it in your words and images. 🤗
and you put it in paint ❤
