Day 363 - a Year by the Sea

Wet and foggy, today has been a bedraggled mess. Everything (except the ducks) is tucked in and hidden from the weather. Your gaze wanders. The bare trees have more to notice than you might think at first. This limb with its bark torn back hardly merits a glance. Then look closer and that gorgeous wet red beckons to your eye. With age comes character and this skinny trunk has more character than Anna Magnani or Irene Papas. So far from being bored, I am entranced with beauty. Not pop music but real Delta blues beauty.

Ciao!
