January 2020

For a brief moment, the natural world is on hold as it sleeps beneath the frozen surface. It provides a metaphor for our daily lives as we spend our indoor time reflecting on the past year and planning for Spring's imminent arrival. However, this icy world provides us with some spectacular beauty while we wait.
