Light at the End of the Shadows

I walked the Kennebec Messalonskee Rotary Centennial Trail in Winslow Maine on Veteran’s Day. It was an unseasonably warm day. The sun was hidden behind a glaze of clouds but shone brightly nevertheless. The colors were wonderful. I had my iPhone with me to capture the feeling and colors of that day. I like it so much I’ve turned it into a card and it’s been published in my Etsy Shop; the shop was opened on November 9th. This image is in the Thanksgiving/Fall section.

It’s been a tough year.
And we’re entering the darkest period yet,
as Solar Winter curtails the hours of sunlight,
to reach the longest nights of late December.
Spring is a long wait.
But it’s coming. Warmer days and better times.
There are all kinds of shadows along our path to Spring
but we’ll pass through them, and find the door into the light.

The caption above is also on the back of the card.
