In which I chill on an overlook, chase storms, and explore the small world of flowers…

In which I crawl icy sands and hike steaming shores…

In which winter takes a couple final breaths, and then relents…

In which I travel to Hanoi, Vietnam, and see my grandson for the first time…

In which I brave the bitter cold, and relish the sweet frosty light…

In which I brave the howling winter winds…

In which I find drama and warmth in the snow…

In which I venture into the frost, and the four stages of autumn…

In which I explore farms and beaches and back alleys, and contemplate the change in season…

In which we endure squalls, and enjoy paddling…
