Happy new year! :D
The first day of 2011 is unusually mild. We woke up to a thick veil of fog outside our window. We went out to our balcony and it was like stepping into a cloud. It felt strangely serene.
I joined the Zumi group on Flickr and saw lots of cool black and white pictures. I thought I don’t use the black and white mode quite enough and so here’s a B&W picture of the foggy neighbourhood.
And when we went back inside for breakfast I heard the birds chirping, which reminded me of this quote I read on Duo Fiberworks:
“I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.
‘We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,’
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.”
- Oliver Herford, I Heard a Bird Sing
Wishing everyone a healthy and wonderful 2011!
Your poem makes me smile. : )
