Sunset

“Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart?”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

Marshes

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.

~Walt Whitman

Two Roads Diverged in a Wood, and I

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

The Sparkle of Frost

He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter.   ~John Burroughs

 

Frosted trees in the blue fog

Fog blanketing the Salt Lake City valley

Sun refractions creating blue fog

Ducks at La Caille

Little Cottonwood granite trying to peek through the fog.

Snowflakes on berries

Berry laden frosted tree

Frozen fountain

Remnants of Christmas in the fog

Laden willow tree

Froggie in the frost.

Winter

There’s a certain Slant of light, Winter Afternoons– That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes. ~Emily Dickinson
