A Time of Day A Time of Year Lost in Blankets of Fog or Crisp and Clear

Winter may be holding on here in the Northeast, while others enjoy snowdrops, jonquil blooms and other swelling buds, we patiently brace for another round of snow and ice. The one winter gift I so appreciate is that of glorious sunrises... for while the sun is more to the south it rises here to paint the sky and mountain range... vivid hues... later it will not produce such drama in color... in our gardens winter sunrises are the best! Here the valley is seen clear then buried under a blanket of fog... with but the tips of Mount Tom and the Holyoke Range showing... still clinging for air.
