Snow softened, home
The latest storm brought us about four inches of fresh powder, and though the snow was too dry to coat the branches and the wires—a boon, since no one lost power this time—it had its own way of softening the landscape. In another month or two, this will be a view of a rock wall, the stones and boulders all sharp angles but set so that they at least appear to be square. But now, the rocks have been transformed into gentle curves: stone made flesh. If you look really hard, especially if you're myopic and remove your glasses, you can almost see a reclining nude. Of course, you'd need to pay your model a princely sum to pose in such frigid circumstances.
