Your photography and words have a beautiful cadence, a softly tripping song. Mizzle ... now there is a word my gran told me for that state of water saturation. She learned it from her Scottish gran and so we pass it on. I do enjoy your Substack.

More superb words and images. "...upturned boats of drifted snow push through the fence, beached across the track" - wonderful.

Thanks Ralph, it's been good to be able to get out and witness the transformation, though I haven't always timed it well - yesterday afternoon I missed the 'pretty' stage and the better light.

Beautiful experiments in the typography and I felt encouraged to view all the different types of winter days with more reverence after reading your observations. Thank you...

Thank you for your kindness Naomi. I seem to have found another rabbithole to lose myself in, but I do love the way that words offer us so many possibilities.
