winter sky

A wintry mix is predicted. I am back home sitting on the couch in front of the fire, laptop in lap. This picture was taken last week up at the lookout, it looks cold...



the clouds are as thick as quilt batting
blocking out the sun in the gray winter sky

the trees are stripped bare of their leaves
their limbs trembling in the cold winter wind

the ancient blue mountain peaks fade away
the hues becoming lighter until mountain blends with sky

spring
